Small increments for corrections is one of the things I love the most about the bolus wizard on the MM. If I need 0.1 or 0.2 for a correction I can do it, where I couldn't on shots. For meals though a pen with 0.25 would be highly annoying for me. 1u or 2u would be fine as no meal of mine is less than 5 units. (I carry 1u pens for backup)

I could see a huge benefit for young children on insulin to have a 0.25 increment pen as many have very small amounts of insulin requirements.
