True, but the RS CDS cells are cheap and using them in parallel or series
also changes the response range, since all the resistances change with
light levels. This would be most dramatic in the series connected
case at the low resistance end and the parallel case at the higher
resistance end.
And as you point out, it does give a greater field of view for the sensor
and some control over which areas it surveys.
