Brian, I try to do the same thing as you for the same reason, at least in the Monastery and Arnika Road.

I have tried the other ideas mentioned above with various games. If it's a reasonably strong party I will lev every time. That is now my default, being experienced.

If it is too weak, I hold back on leveling for the Arnika road. This allows the party to increase combat and magic stats, getting stronger, without attracting stronger enemies. (I actually made it to Arnika with everyone lev 2, a 4-party to boot, got lucky against Gregor).

The diseased critters kicking in at lev 5 is also a valid point. I don't have too much trouble but reload if diseased (unless I can get Cure Disease with Alchemy or luck). I don't try the road if diseased, never seems to work. The game senses if you are desperate, or at least it seems that way.
