Another data point for you: after 8-9 months of having a Quicksilver, my wife started receiving pre-approved offers for the "Good Credit" SavorOne when she signed into her Cap1 account and in her "For You" box on the Cap1 Creditwise site. She ignored the offers for a few months hoping they would offer her the "Excellent" one but they never did. She finally decided to take a shot by ignoring the pre-approval links and applied directly on the website for the "Excellent" version and was approved (3k) with the SUB. Her FICO 8's at the time were in the 665 range but she had a year of heavy use and solid payments with Cap1.

Good to know! My FICO8s are just a touch below at 659, 656, 663 but in the ballpark. I've got solid usage on the card thus far and have been averaging $2k/mo spend per statement on a $2k limit from cap1 now That will probably drop down when my Discover gets unsecured but would expect to still be at least $1k-1.2k/mo spend every statement before making a Savor One application (if approved without a toy limit it would get the largest chunk of my spend). My biggest worry is the BK7 on my record would be held us as a reason but that was discharged in Feb '18 and they were not burned in it.
I can't speak for the low limit on Savor, but in regards to CLIs my understanding C1 likes to see significant usage for several months in a row before they'll consider a CLI. Has me wondering if you would have gotten higher on the Savor if you were using the QS regularly leading up to the application (and then go back to sock drawer etc).

I have had a QS 1 for probably 5yrs. My initial SL was $1500. I used to use it semi regular when I first had it but it's been paid off and rarely used in the last few years. I have never gotten an auto CLI and I have repeatedly been denied CLI when I ask for it.
I have near 800 FICO 8, $100k income, other cards $10k, 15k, 18k. Utilization 5%. I applied for a few cards the other day, first cards I've applied for in 2 years. Was approved for a few higher limits, (2) at 15k, 1 at 10k. I checked pre-approval at Cap1, it said Savor. I was approved for..... $300. **bleep**?! How can people coming off a semi recent BK get SL 10x higher than me? I'm pissed that I wasted a HP for a $300 card and that I never get CLIs from Cap1
I believe you're just not their target customer at this point. Perhaps if you had applied for a Venture/Venture X, you would have been approved with a far better SL since those are their top of the line cards, and each has a $5k minimum (possibly even $10k minimum on the X) SL.
I got approved and I'm closer to BK than you.
My limit on that card was higher than my Quicksilver, so I'm hoping it will grow.
I say go for it 
Figures that since I want a Savor One I'm now getting a QS pre approval offer via email and in my account (26.49%, 0% for 9 months intro). It's some sort of offer that's slightly better than the no sub QS For Good Credit (26.99%, no sub, no 0% intro) but well below the regular $200 sub with 0% for 15 month intro for QS. Still better than my QS1 that's been a double edged sword and would love to PC to anything else the first opportunity (if they'll ever let it).
