Here’s why I landed on three. The default sheet would include the layout for phones since much of the layout (at least for my projects) would be full width the number layout styles would be reasonable. Then accomodate the 600 to 1024 mobile context with it’s own more complex layout styles and finally the 1024 and up desktop with it’s own.

In my experience, the greatest number of style changes has been within the tablet context with all the sizes, orientation and display resolutions. It hasn’t made much sense for my work to break things out into more size specific sheets then this. Not to say I won’t if the project creates significant reason to do so.
