With some printers that have few nozzles per head it may be worth it. 
For example the C86 and similar ones. For BO printing or a semi BO with 
one lighter ink. Or if you want the smallest droplet of (older) printers 
on purpose. I agree that droplet size diversity should be kept as much 
as possible. Which brings up the subject again of higher patch numbers 
in linearising to control the more complex hardware of multiple heads, 
inks and 2-3 droplet sizes.
