Probably not, as teh eyes aren't the closest point, which is generally 
where the AF focuses. More points just makes missing the closest point 
less likely. How about a mode where you can set how far behind the AF 
focus point it actually focuses the lens.

I don't think the small sensor bodies are ever going to be very good for 
some kinds of shooting. Portrait, where the shallower possible DOF and 
beter manual focus of FF are a big advantage, is one.
