Wow. I agree with most everything you said, but I disagree at the same time.
I dunno how to verbalize it just yet. Perhaps it's that I feel "drawn" to
model in microfig scale, and intimidated (mostly due to cost and number of
pieces) by minifig scale. But at the same time, I can more appreciate someone
else's microfig scale model over a similar minifig scale one.

Erm, read Eric's message again. :-, He's addressing both microfig scale
*and* the four attributes you quoted. And Bonsai typically come in small
packages. But you're absolutely right -- these design principals can be
applied to any scale.
