Swapped my 0.5mm lead for 0.3mm on a residential job last week and I'm never going back.
I was laying out some floor plans for a kitchen remodel over on Elm Street and the fine details on the cabinet elevations were just a mess with my usual 0.5. My coworker handed me his 0.3mm for a test run and the difference in precision on those tight corners was night and day. Less erasing too, somehow. Has anyone else made a similar switch and stuck with it?

Going back to 0.5 after trying 0.3mm is like going back to dial-up after fiber, I just can't do it.

Honestly I get it but at the same time using a 0.3mm pen feels like I'm gonna snap the tip off every time I write a single letter. Like yeah the precision is nice but I have heavy hands and that thing is basically a needle. Tbh I went back to 0.5 and I'm a lot happier not holding my breath every time I press down. Ngl dial-up was simpler too at least you knew what you were getting.
