How to say “I wouldn't go so far as to say…” in Mandarin

I'm searching for a common way to say "I wouldn't go so far as to say that" in Mandarin. The only translation of this expression, that I found in a dictionary, is :

It's good, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that it's great.
挺好的，但是我不會極端到說棒極了。

However, since I have not found any other translation of "極端到" that expresses the idea of "go so far as to", I wonder if is this is a common way to say it.

  The corresponding expression in Chinese really varies, all three answers are correct as of now.

The common way you would say it is

还没有……到……地步

For example, 挺好的，但还没有好到那个地步。

Or, it tastes fine, but I would not go so far as to say that it is delicious can be translated to

味道还行，但还没有好吃到十分美味的地步

It's good, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that it's great.

This sentence should be translated to
挺不錯的，但還不到非常好。

I never heard 極端到說棒極了, It's very odd, and no one would say that way.
