sure --- that's one reason. but there's also something else

a) well look at this:


+       +       +       +       +       +

+       +       +       +       +       +

+       +       +       +       +       +

+       +       +       +       +       +


b) and this:


+       +       +       +       +       +

    +       +       +       +       +

+       +       +       +       +       +

    +       +       +       +       +


which one looks more pleasing to you?
 I would expect that aligning the bevels diagonally 
(as I did) would look much better and less noisy.
Choosing adequate colors would help a lot in addition.
