I have a three models for images:

class SMALLAVATARS(db.Model,):
    author = db.UserProperty()
    phrase = db.ReferenceProperty(PHRASES)
    file = db.BlobProperty(default=None)
    creationDate = db.DateTimeProperty(auto_now_add=True)
    editDate = db.DateTimeProperty(auto_now=True)

class MEDIUMAVATARS(db.Model,):
    author = db.UserProperty()
    phrase = db.ReferenceProperty(PHRASES)
    file = db.BlobProperty(default=None)
    creationDate = db.DateTimeProperty(auto_now_add=True)
    editDate = db.DateTimeProperty(auto_now=True)

class LARGEAVATARS(db.Model,):
    author = db.UserProperty()
    phrase = db.ReferenceProperty(PHRASES)
    file = db.BlobProperty(default=None)
    creationDate = db.DateTimeProperty(auto_now_add=True)
    editDate = db.DateTimeProperty(auto_now=True)

Is this optimal or would using a single model such as:

class AVATARS(db.Model,):
    author = db.UserProperty()
    phrase = db.ReferenceProperty(PHRASES)
    small = db.BlobProperty(default=None)
    medium = db.BlobProperty(default=None)
    large = db.BlobProperty(default=None)
    creationDate = db.DateTimeProperty(auto_now_add=True)
    editDate = db.DateTimeProperty(auto_now=True)

be better?

Obviously the later is nice and simple, but I'm concerned that when I
go to actually get the entity in question I will unnecessarily eat up
more system resources if I only need one of the three images?

As always, input is greatly appreciated!
