The appearance of media depends on the distance you are seeing through 
it(8 meters of constant smoke appears darker than 2 meters at the same 
density). Media is still useful at other scales, you just have to make 
it denser for smaller scales and thinner for large scales. If you have 
something that looked fine at 1 POV-Unit to 1 meter scale and want to 
convert it to 1/0.5 PU/m scale, just double the density.
