There are a few reasons why I'm going with Limit right now.
It's easier to play when I'm at work. My connection isn't stable the whole time and I'd hate to have 50 BBs invested in a hand and have the connection drop. I don't play at work all the time but right now business is really slow and I can get in a couple hours of play easily.
Most of my mistakes are post-flop and those mistakes lead to losing stacks (100 Big Blinds) in NL. By playing Limit I'm controlling the amount I lose when I make mistakes. I'm also keeping my bankroll alive as I've been on a bad swing for a while. I want to get this back up to a comfortable level.
I've done a few session reviews on 2+2 in the Micro Stakes Limit section and it's a really good way to improve one's game. These session reviews are something I think would work very well in the Mini Masterminds at Poker Dynasty. You get to see what works and what doesn't against different types of villains, and there are a lot more hands that go past a pre-flop raise and a c-bet.
I'm also re-reading Small Stakes Hold Em by Ed Miller. It seems at the levels I am grinding the opponents play too many hands are really straight forward in their playing style. Not many villains know how to value bet strong drawing hands/combo draws and I think I have an advantage there.
Oh, here's the larger scale picture of the macro from the previous post too. Almost for got to add this. Good luck on the felt and may the good cards hit your hand

You're a far better student of the game than I am. My two favorite games are NL tournaments, and the $5-150 game at our casino.
Poker and pool. Two great games. Good luck in the championship game this weekend.
And thanks for stopping by my blog!
My pleasure, Jennifer. I found you from David McMahon's Post of the Day. We'll have to win 3 matches Friday and 3 on Sunday to do it but I like challenges like this.
