the docs ("3.6.3.2.1 Photon Global Settings") recommend to use either
<spacing> OR <count> ...

the number photon shot using <spacing> depends on object dimension, while with 
<count> the spacing will be estimated to fit the number of photons to be shot.

In your case I don't know which does have the higher priority ???
