I always wonder about adding another circuit breaker to a line. True, it limits the number of outlets that are disabled, but the user has to notice that the local breaker has tripped or he will get confused about what is wrong, since the main breaker will not be tripped.

^ Cutting the circuit closer to the overload is usually a better solution electrically to limit damage, in addition to not losing power to other outlets as mentioned. I don't see the confusion angle since the buyer knows it has the circuit breaker in it, rather it is good that when you go over to it to reset it, you should be unplugging the load that tripped it anyway. You should not just flip a main breaker box breaker back on without removing the overload first.
