Help Me Please

Ok I want to know if I screwed myself or not...I flushed the tranny in my Jimmy and it takes dexron 2, well I was shopping and saw some B&M Trick shift which was Dexron 2/2e compatible but there wasnt enough bottles so I saw some B&M Hot shift which had enough bottles so I bought it and put it in and on the last bottle; after taking the sub frame apart to get the pan out and putting the new filter in and everything and putting it all back together; I realize on the last bottle that it only says meets "Dexron specifications for use in Automatics" or something like that.... so the question is does the fact I may have put the equivalent of plain Dexron into a auto tranny requiring Dexron 2 am I going to ruin anything? or should this be fine for 30k more miles because I am not taking the pan off again anytime soon.
Because I am lead to belive that the higher the number the more refined the fluid and higher numbers can be used in lower numbers, so being its a quality lower number going up one will it cause any adverse affects?
