I guess it's worth experimenting. I agree that more direct and precise control over the AF target is better than less. The only times I use CAF with many boxes is with fast moving subjects like running kids, otherwise uusually a single shot with one box for best precision.

Re. the smallest focus box, I found that it only works if there is sufficient contrast within that box. I tried the smallest AF box for a time with all sorts of lenses and situations, but have reverted back to standard size or just one size down for most shots. Experiment and see what works best for you.
