Which is more intensive?

Which would be more processor and communication intensive: A touch panel page with 400 levels, or a page with 1200 channels? All I would be doing is either turning on/off the channels or setting levels.

Also, Does combining a bunch of touch panels with a virtual device in the above situation alleviate any memory or processor strain, or does the virtual device just add more overhead?

I'm toying around with a little fun project and I'm trying to decide how to approach it. (I might just try it both ways :) )

    Jeff, I would rather consider channels over levels. Simply by the fact the levels operate on byte level (255 conditions) while channels - on bits (2 conditions: on/off). Well, the data structures are more complex indeed (objects, most likely) but levels are more comprehensive by definition and thus I guess they are more resource-intensive.
