Entropy Gain for per-receptor NPS

I'd say the former is only marginally more difficult than the latter, at least at specifically 20nps. You're effectively comparing a 300bpm stream to 200bpm jumpstream with jumps every eighth. Putting aside patterning or any potential for stam drain and just trying to discern what's harder to maintain good PA on, I'd say the stream wouldn't be rated more than 5 points higher than the dense js, assuming the sections aren't drawn out for a long period of time.

At higher bpms the disparity in difficulty becomes a bit wider (e.g. 375 streaming pushes a speed threshold that 250 dense jumpstreaming doesn't quite match up with) but eventually you hit a point where they're both outside the realm of possibility to PA for almost everyone anyways (450 streaming vs 300 dense js etc.)
