The best way to control EDGE bevels/chamfers in 3ds Max?

I can't find a good way to set custom chamfer weights for edges in 3ds Max. In Blender it's very easy: there is bevel weight for edges or vertices, I simply set 0.0-1.0 and that's it. In 3ds Max I found three solutions and all are bad:

By crease weight - doesn't give the same results at all (it chamfers not only edges, but edges and vertices).
Selection from stack + multiple edit polys - very bad solution, changing any geometry below the edit poly with selection will cause edges to deselect and everything breaks.
By smoothing - can't select specific edges this way, only viable for some models.

Here is how it looks in Blender. I want large chamfers for three edges, small chamfer for the fourth and small for top and bottom. Can't find a way to do this in 3ds Max procedurally with modifiers.

You can set the chamfer modifier to use weight, and change the weight amount per edge.

I don't have that option. I'm using 2020 version 22.0.0.757. Mine has only Fixed / By Crease Weight / Legacy. I can't use a newer version because we're using 2020 at work.

Most of the chamfer enhancements happened in the point releases of 2020, so if you can download the updates, you could have it.
