AF reliability varies with a size of the focus reading area?

After posting the initial X-E1 impressions, I had couple more occasions to play with the camera's AF.

It feels to me, that resizing the focus reading area using the scroll wheel helps or hurts AF reliability, depending on the lighting conditions. Seems to me that in bright light the focus reading are works fine when biggest. In lower light, though, I found AF is more reliable when the reading area is smaller, but not too small - so that it still has enough edge detection data.

Anyone noticed it, or is it just a feeling?

Cheers!
