But imagine staring at Foobar2000 all day as if it is your primary work. You probabbly are looking for just some of the data most of the time and filtering the rest... so in that case maybe less would be better.
On the other hand if you glance at it and want lots of data without clicks, then dense is great.
But your point about "logical" is the key for dense stuff, and getting to what is "logical" can be hard.
