Co2 dispersion in 4x4 tent one single line or build a grid manifold ?

Would their be any added benefit of making a manifold from 1/4” tubing with quick connect fittings , doing a 16 square foot grid , and putting tiny holes evenly spaced around each square - to disperse co2 100% evenly across my canopy ?

I’ve seen lots of guys just run a single line in , from the top and just let it fall where it falls . I would think spreading it out like this would give better results right ??

I used to run a propane buddy heater on my porch which supplied insane amounts of co2 for my tent , now that I’m inside - without the buddy heater I see around 590-620ppm on the ac infinity co2 controller , and would like to be around 1000-1200 during veg and 1500-2000 during flower “depending on how the phenotype responds to the added lighting temps increase in nutrients etc .

I have a 20lb tank and the ac infinity regulator , and want to incorporate this for my next dwc grow .

I’ll only be exhausting when lights are out - otherwise tent will stay sealed and the dehumidifier/humidifiers will maintain correct vpd
 
The co2 mixes with the air, it's not like trying to mix water and oil. put a drop of food coloring into a glass of water, it mixes up even though the water is still after a minute or so, same with co2.

So then it would likely be a waste to disperse it across the enitire footprint rather than a single hose at top of tent in the center ?
