Mobile-first tends to keep repeat styles to a minimum. As your width increases, only change or add rules to deal with layout changes. My base (mobile) styles are heaviest, and sheets for increased widths tend to be extremely light, consisting only of tweaks. Also, I second the idea of content dictating break points, although other people where I work have expectations of where breaks occur, but that's another story...
