I think that incremental evaluation may be faster than doing the full evaluation at every node until depth-1. The problem is that doing it without bugs is not easy espacially when you have a big evaluation. 2)Did you check that your full evaluation is really productive if you assume the same number of nodes. I remember that when I tested personalities of Rebel I found that knowledge=500 changes it's mind more often so it needs more nodes to finish the same iteration. knowledge=500 beat knowledge=100 with fixed depth but the interesting question is if it also beat knowledge=100 with fixed number of nodes.
