Yeah, the first few B-sides are rough. I'd say 2B is probably the easiest? I remember 5B being somewhat manageable as well (in addition to having the best theme in the game). The rest are tough as nails.
On Chapter 9 - stopping 2/3 into Chapter 9 is a bit of a shame because the middle part of the Chapter is definitely the hardest section of the level IMO. The difficulty scales down noticeably in the last 25% or so (though the final room can be a pain, admittedly).
Chapter 9 is still consistently harder than anything else in the game, and stays punitively harsh for longer than anything else, though a few inspanidual rooms in some of the other levels can rival it. It's more a test of persistence and grit.
