One of the reasons for wanting to only grow the image gradually is that
software *will* expand to use all available space, and by only giving
ourselves a little bit at a time, we can make sure we're continuing to be
disciplined about the growth.  I don't think the difference between 786 and
800 is a big deal either way... but I also don't think "breathing room"
should be the deciding factor :)
