There does seem to be a sweet spot with the quantity of images. I tried six and CS5 got confused and couldn't blend out the blur so resorted to blending everything. I got a mess.
I've subsequently tried three and four images which worked perfectly. Perhaps my six image is my fault...either way, great technique that can go into my bag of tricks.
Great! Thanks for posting this, I can't wait to get a chance to add this to my toolbox.
