yes.  I think my two points were actually the same point taken twice :-)
If you're only updating a few bytes of data you will end up writing
a large proportion of log control data.  That'll end up being
responsible for most of the erase traffic.

Still, if you need to be powerfail-safe, I can't see any way of not
doing this.
