I see so much info about printing with larger nozzles and such. Not much on smaller. Is there anything I should worry about that I might not be expecting?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 'good' ones have larger wood chips. Cheaper wood infill usually have small bits or dust, which should actually work better at .4 (and don't look/feel as good).

Not sure about that. I would say that in better quality wood filament the particle size is more uniform/consistent.

Subjectively, I think they look better with a bigger nozzle and layer height, and specially of you sand it.
