Did you need them for the amperage or the breaker slots?

Not always small. Our new refrigerator is rated to use *less than half* the energy per year that our old one (less than 20 years old) consumed.

I meant the circuit-breaker box.
If you're electricity supplier is jerking you around on new wires, just call 'em up and ask for another (free) 150 amp service drop.

Which they will happily connect to an additional meter, adding an additional meter charge each month.

Actually they won't. It is a violation of the National Electric Code. A structure can only be served by one service drop with a very few exceptions NEC 230.2

what about the houses that number in the tens of thousands in our area that have a seperate meter for the electric heat? Or doesn't that count as a 'drop'?

If its coming off the same set of lines from the power company, and just metered separately, then it isn't a separate "drop".
