Short comment from my experience.
I would say the difference between a junior and a mid is experience breadth of knowledge. Knowing what tools, patterns or architecture to use and when.
The difference between a senior and a mid, is that a senior knows when NOT to use them.
In other words, juniors and mids tend to focus their attention on technology. Seniors tend to focus on delivery.
