Yes, that is correct, but what happens if you have three registers
and because of stupid reasons the reg-spacing and reg-size is different.
In (1) you can handle it without problems, in (2) not. Also, where is
the difference if you have to calculate the reg-spacing, etc. (1) or
the addresses (2). The effort is more or less exactly the same.
