cobranet question

Issue:
I have three JBL VP speakers with cobranet. They each need their own processing in soundweb. I could multicast one bundle and pick off ch 1 for speaker 1 etc.
I also need one bundle from the soundboard (L,C,R) and two channels back to the soundboard (Line level input from video sources)
It's been a while for cobra net since Blu-link came out in my programming.
If I multicast the one bundle and the switch is sitting on the building network, that's a bad deal. But if I unicast, I would need three bundles for the three speakers right? I can't pull in the same unicast bundle on all three speakers correct? Unicast is point to point.
So what's better, unicast three separate bundles to the speakers or one multicast bundle to everything? Which would have a bigger impact on the network? Correct me if I'm wrong, but a bundle, even with no audio, is the same bandwidth. So four unicast bundles would be a big chunk of bandwidth.
I'll have to check the switch and see if it supports VLAN. That would allow me to creat a small virtual network an multicast without polluting the rest of the building network. Actually, there is a VLAN for all the AV stuff, but that includes control systems, and four or five other BLU-100s.
