Sven, Excluding connection ramp-up and ramp-down skew, each spritzer feed delivers the same statuses as all other spritzer feeds. Likewise, each gardenhose feed delivers the same statuses as all other gardenhose feeds. Also, spritzer feeds are a strict subset of gardenhose feeds. There's no point in consuming multiple sampled feeds (spritzer/ spritzer, gardenhose/spritzer, gardenhose/gardenhose), as you'll just receive duplicate data.
Multiple sessions on sampled feeds just waste scarce resources and you also may find your access automatically limited for a period of time.
