For the heater, my main concern is on the residual thermal gradients after stabilization. The Alnis, Hansch, et al papers described how they had trouble with using multiple heaters and multiple sensors.
Our experience from the 40m is also that the single out of loop sensor (AD590) shows a much larger signal than the residual in-loop noise. This is only an issue below 10 mHz, so its not worth worrying about if it makes things take longer in the near term.
