Yes, for facet. The primary use for larger active tip is splanchnic, lumbar sympathetic, but double lesioning for lumbar facets will cover any anatomical variations without jeopardizing the nerve root. Cervical posterior approach, one lesion is usually adequate diagonally without rotation.
Particularly anterior lateral approach is where we see undesirable lesioning with a very large lesion, and I do not ever see the need for a very large lesion in the neck.
Peripheral nerves, I very much prefer cryolysis over a very large radiofrequency lesion. No neuritis with cryolysis. Large lesions in proximity to motor nerves can give motor deficit. Must use motor nerve stimulation preferably to 2V. Costs do matter, especially when you can get the same or better result for very much less.
