1 x balance pot versus 2 x individual volume pots?

Hi all
My new precision with JPUP at the neck runs Jazz style V/V/T pots. To be honest, I prefer a single balance pot where I can move very quickly between the two PUPs. Before I change it, is there any reason I should not use a balance pot (lower O/P. reduced range of tones etc) and leave it as is?
Cheers
Chris

My personal preference is for 2 volumes. I find it to be more flexible, eg. 2 volumes allows you to run 1 pickup at 90%, and the other at 50%.

I don't think there's much difference in terms of signal loss, noise etc. between the two options though.

That's my experience of it. I use the volume pedal on the Zoom B2 1.u to deal with the quick on/off volume stuff at the end of songs etc, but prefer the V/V/T set up..
