F-S has it's own artifacts we might have to deal with then (Worms).
(I had to implement F-S in programmable logic once.)

There's a school out there that uses 3 different fixed dither methods over 
the range of gray scales where each doesn't have noticeable artifacts. 
The  transition between them is made at the gray level where they both have 
equally well dithered outputs (ie; in ranges where you won't notice the 
change).
