 From what I recall, there were at least two droplet sizes
available at
1440. I also remember that not all droplet sizes are available in
a
given line--that is you couldn't mix droplet sizes.

Regarding 720 vs 1440 modes, I'm not really sure. I have not
investigated personally.<

So similar to your remarks. Must have been my illusion there was
more
possible.
