I think the point is, if you are going to fill your contour plot with
colors, the colors should match the contour intervals displayed on the
plot. They don't if you set FILL, they do if you set CELL_FILL, when
doing contouring onto a map projection.

I don't know what "more wrong" means in the above context. I do know it
is usually a mistake to choose the version that "looks better" if
scientific accuracy is what you are aiming for. :-)

Cheers,

David
