Thanks guys, that was very constructive. Taking a convex combination of all your comments, i'll go with
Tier 1: JME, AEJ Macro
Tier 2: RED
Tier 3: JMCB, JEDC
Tier 4: MD, JMacro
And I'll please the acrymonious micro guy above by making the equivalent list for Micro
Tier 1: JET, TE
Tier 2: AEJ:Micro, Rand
Tier 3: GEB
Tier 4: ET
Best to all. OP
Agree!

This!
Tier 1: JME, AEJ Macro
Tier 2: RED
Tier 3: JMCB, JEDC
Tier 4: MD, JMacro
JME~AEJMacro~JEEA>EJ~IER>RED>JMCB~EER>JEDC>>>MD~JMacro~JIMF
EJ and IER is not necessarily better than RED.
JEDC is probably just weakly better than MD.
I have never read any paper in JIMF (what is it?)
This!

IER and EJ are certainly better than RED (especially the former).

About the same.
Honestly, macro people don't distinguish JME~RED~AEJ. Maybe there is a small gap, though. They have a different focus and they are all top-field journals. JEDC and JMCB are second-tier. MD and JMacro are even lower.
AEJ: Macro and JME are clearly better than RED. Not close.
This. The only matter is whether the paper is in the top 5 or in the top field journals that are JME, AEJ and RED. People don’t care the small gap among these three journals. People don’t care the journals below them either.
