Say, half a wingspan?
 

 
Similar to the (should I say it) "Stall Turn", where a 1 wing displacement up/down is ok. It is possible for the plane to travel up/down on exactly the same line, but there are no downgrades if it moves laterally by one wingspan.
 
Smoothness and gracefulness have been mentioned a few times in this thread. Somehow, I don't believe there is anything smooth and graceful about a snap roll. :-) Have you ever been in a real plane that has done a snap roll? I have. :-0
 
As I have said many times, the real heroes in this hobby are the cockpit dummys. No matter what kind of crap we put them through, they continue to hold a straight face. They won't even close their eyes before impact!!!
