Option 2 (new measurements) slightly increases storage requirements, but comes with the kinds of benefits that you advocate for below. >>From a research perspective, I would argue that it would at least > temporarily make sense to have the two (slightly) different measurements > (i.e. the old without and the new one with NSID enabled) running in > parallel, just to flesh out whether any significant differences occur. > If storage and measurement performance are not a (serious) issue, then > running two separate measurements would be preferable, in my opinion, to > safeguard continuity of the existing measurements.
