Oh I'm sure there's a lot more fine grained data and that Asch's experiments were a rough prototype for future experiments. Asch was interesting to me because he showed that a significant proportion of the population would just go along with ANYTHING the group did. This has a lot of implications. A lot of advertisements use this technique to try to position their product in the ad as a 'mainstream' and 'normal' product that them majority loves even if it's a stick of cancer that will kill you. If propaganda can infect enough people, then many others will just cave and quit critically thinking and go along with the majority. It's just fascinating to me how many people will just cave to the majority to fit in.
