I can't see number of nozzles having any effect.  The only difference between
say the 2200 w/96 nozzles and R2400 w/180 nozzles is that the head is 
larger -- it does 1 inch swath instead of a .53 inch swath per pass.  The nozzles
are 1/180 inch separation in both cases.  It takes multiple passes to fill everything
in between.
