>>>  Obviously a tighter, more condensed pattern (Case A) has more mass than the more spacious configuration (Case B).  So the answer to Mike's question is, Yes.

So how does the resistance (R factor) of heat transfer of the larger cell come into play for heat needs?  Since there should be more air within a larger cell than a smaller cell it would seem that the larger cell would be more resistant to heat changes verses the small cell.  More heat needed or less?  I don't know.  Just throwing  thoughts around.
