I guess that bit of extra complexity wouldn't hurt too much.
However, you have to decide on what you do when reading back values.
I.e., do you read back the real value from the chip and scale it, or
do you introduce a shadow register to read back what you last wrote ?
Even those small things have a tendency of getting tricky if you let
them ...
