Setting a low number of maxcolors allows you to perfectly distinguish visually various regions of interest in your plot. If you use a smooth palette, you get a pleasing result for the eye but it is very hard to read it (e.g get the value-range of a pixel). We wonder is this color or the next one? Almost all scientific programs that I know (monte carlo, molecular dynamics, finite elements etc) they use the same approach they define a limited number of colors (16-30). Further more since we plot always in 'log cb' we try to align the colors with the decades e.g. 4-5 colors per decade.
