For progressive refinement you can set the render to continue indefinitely and cancel when happy. - for example set pixel samples to 9999. Its worth exploring the presets and using progressive refinement + high sample count to see the impact the preset has on quality and time.

Do you render that way? Seems to take longer to render the whole image all at once instead of breaking it up into tiles.

It depends on the scene. For most, tiles are more efficient per rendered pixel but progressive will give you the entire image so you can cancel it earlier in case it meets your needs earlier than your anticipated.
