Good Day!

We are looking into getting one or two more RA81 disk drives.  We currently
have the following configuration:

1 780
2 750s
1 HSC-50 (two disk requestors)
4 RA81s
1 RA60                     

There are two ra81s on each requester board.  If we got two more ra81s,
should we

a) put one on each requester or
b) get another requestor board.

I know we technically don't *need* to get another board, but I have heard
some talk about performance issues if you load up a board too heavily.
                             
Please respond to me directly as I do not read all the places that info-vax
has a gateway to.   Thanks ahead of time.
