Default Proper use of exponential servo control for sequence flying

I'm starting to play with expo on my new radio/airplane and I don't think I like it. It has also made me aware that I use rudder and aileron similarly buy elevator much differently. With rudder and aileron, I'm either making small adjustments for track and heading or pushing the stick all the way over for manevers. In this case, expo seems to help smooth the track and heading part. On the elevator, I use the full range for all aspects of flying the sequence. In this case, expo gives me the feeling of vagueness in the middle, and over sensitivity at full stick. Kind of like my '67 Plymouth.

I guess my preference on expo is about 40% rudder, 20% aileron, 0% elevator.

Am I crazy?
