I agree that linking Sanity to levels would make sense if you want to have the 'levelling up' theme as part of your CoC campaign. However, the original game and the fiction are strongly committed to a near-irreversible downward spiral of sanity in the PCs/protagonists. Although this is not a necessity in every horror game, I feel it is an important element of CoC.

I tend to think of both RPGs as 'one, two or three'- offs. The characters are designed at whatever level you find interesting with the understanding that, dead or not, their particular story ends within a session or two.

Just my opinion though... as long as you are having fun, you are doing it right
