Altimeter settings don't tend to vary a great deal from one
controller to the next. If you're issued one that differs by more
than a few points from the previous then it's a good idea to check on
it.

This is true. However, one of the exceptions I remember was back when the
remains of hurricane/tropical storm Ivan were rumbling around my flight
path. The low pressure system definitely caused a very significant change
in altimeter settings from one sector to the next - so much so that I
thought I misunderstood her call the first time.
