I don't agree with this. I do not have micro handles on my Innova and I can definitely do micro work with out them. I have done pebbling as tiny as a 1/16" and the lime green background in this block measured 4" x 12" and has microstippling that I was able to do with regular handles. The light tan block to the lower left, 1" patches with swirls.

As I have never used micro handles I can't say for sure if they would improve my accuracy or not. I think I am plenty accurate without them and can do very fine micro work so I would not qualify them as indespensable JMHO
