I first used stacks for the extra small displacements, but since the mean distance between CCD elements at the time was ~10 micron, I went with bi-morphs in the final model. The advantage is not having to move the entire camera, and still getting overlapping super-resolution, the disadvantage is, each iteration of small mechanical movement required an array refresh. How I got around that disadvantage was to make the array RAM. If that project had continued, I would be at a sub cluster adaptive tessellation by now... the old 'don't waste your time on image plane areas where no real activities of interest are occurring' strategy.
