Yup, as you can get far more realism in the fine detail, There are places like when making a table that you would not scale the wood grain that in scale you might be able to put a finger in, but there is no need to force the problem trying to make confetti look like floor tile. Since you can print the small detail where even the grain of the wood is in proper scale and the curved edge and shadows are in place anything that in real life would be less than a half inch, would be almost impossible to recreate that way but work very well as an image.
I recall a fantastic job done of a fancy sports car , that they went through all that could not scale properly as an example the steel body would be like thin aluminum foil that could not be touched or it would be like a bad accident every time you did.
