BRF. Birth the cakes, or spawn to bulk?

I've done some searching, and have found conflicting answers.
Currently have 5 EQ half pints almost 80% colonized, and four b+ probably around 35%.
Was wondering if I should take three cakes, crumble, and spawn to bulk (with coir more than likely).
But I seem to be finding a lot of people claiming around the same yields just birthing the cakes.
Should I save some time and just birth everything, would the yield be that much bigger?

Spawn to hpoo substrate would be the best or just birth and fruit the cakes whole.

Really wasn't wanting to work with poo. Cant buy it in small enough amounts where I live, and my parents might know something is up when I come over and start collecting poo :p.
Really I just want to know if the yield is worth the risk of contams and the extra time it will take. Considering I've read quite a few post claiming birthing will yield similar results.

Spawning to bulk would yield more considering there's more substrate.

Common sense would point that direction...but like I said, I've read many post with people claiming spawning brf is a waste of time and to just birth them.

They were probably using MS which genetics can be so sporadic that it may have just seemed like that to them. With MS you might get a little or you might get alot, they might be small or they might be large etc. You just never know.

Its up in the air as to whether or its worth while to case crumbled cakes but you'll most certainly get more out of them by spawning to bulk. Having said that, I still just fruit my cakes whole. That's kinda what cakes are for lol if you intend to spawn to bulk from the git-go, then whole grains are what one should inoculate instead of cakes.
If you got cakes and are new to the hobby then just keep it simple and avoid risking the loss of what you worked for thus far. Fruit whole for now..
