The Smooth Wash diffusor is designed to help make even washes with multiple fixtures.

I would say the less fixtures argument isn't about reducing the number of systems you have in your plot, just the number of fixtures in each system. For example, i no longer need 2 or 3 fixtures next to each other ultimately doing the same thing just will a different color gel.
