Quick question about moving down

[euphuistical]

Ok, I used to 6-table 1/2 party full ring. I was doing ok, but before the ban I started to question my play. I thought I wasn't thinking enough at the tables and wasn't be properly observant. So after the legislation passed I moved to stars and full tilt. On stars I thought I should move down a level or two for a thousand hands or so to get some confidence back, but I am not sure if it is a good move. I played a bit of stars .5/1 and I ran bad, so I moved down to stars .25/.50 and the game was no where near the aggression or tightness of partys .5/1 or 1/2 (or stars .5/1).

Is this move down a bad move? I have the roll to play .5/1 or 1/2 no problem, it was just a confidence thing. But after having a person cap the flop with absolutely nothing against me a few times at .25/.50 I thought it wouldn't really help me for when I move back up. Should I just lower my number of tables at .5/1 and concentrate and post more hands?
