I don't think it's anywhere near conclusive yet that more layers = better. It's pretty telling that the current state-of-the-art is combining a bunch of layers together in a pseudo random fashion. Nobody understands how these things work to the point that we can make a formula or equation to produce better CNN's, or even predict which models will be more effective to any accuracy. You think more layers is better, because the best models we have happen to have the most layers? Some deep understanding of concepts there.
