35cm brush, which jets?

I’m looking at getting a 35cm brush, Gardiner’s give various options on jets, the one that seems most appealing is the 4 x 1.4mm jets, is this a good option or should I stick with 2?

I usually use pencil jets, occasionally fan jets on hydrophobic glass, the extra 2 would also stop me fitting fan jets too. I’m not sure if the extra jets is worth it given it’s ‘only’ 9cm longer, my concern is will it use more water with 4 jets?

 4 x 1.4mm will consume the same amount of water 2 x 2mm jets will.

I chose 4 x 1.4mm jets on my 35cm brush and they work nicely. I'm not a total fan of fan jets but they do have their place. I personally wouldn't mix fan and pencil jets in the same brush stock tbh. But that's my opinion and doesn't mean that it won't work for you.

Thats good to know, thanks. 

The fan jets wouldn’t be used at the same time, I have most of my brushes set up with both pencil and fans, gives me both options.
