0.16 mm vs 0.20 mm layer height: can you really see the difference?

For decorative prints, when is the extra printing time of a smaller layer height actually worth it?

On flat vertical surfaces you can see the difference; on curved or organic parts, barely. Use 0.16 for display pieces and 0.20 for functional work — below 0.12 the time cost jumps without matching quality gain.
