leaf lettuce

I've been lurking on the list for about a year now and think it is time to
pop a question to all of you.  I have been SQFT gardening for about 2 years
now after using a somewhat similar method of intense planting in raised
beds about 1' wide.

What I was used to doing was growing all of my leaf lettuce by simply
broadcast seeding it thickly over the growing area and producing a virtual
"green carpet" of lettuce leaves that I would then harvest "cut and come
again" style.

Well, this year I decided to try Mel's spacing plans and just planted a few
seeds in each square foot block.  It just about _killed_ me to do this.
 Please tell me I won't regret it.  I am having a hard time believing that
I will get more lettuce leaves this way than from the way I was doing it
before.
