efficiency question

Hello,
I have one basic question about patching efficiently:

If I were to switch every second between two subpatches which both include [pfft~]s with [gizmo~]s, and the tapping couples, and every time ramping the unused one down to 0. using [line~],

which choice would make things easy for Max: muting and unmuting the subpatches every time after [line~] arriving at 0., or leaving unmuted at 0. level?

I think muting/unmuting will be the best option, I'd use adsr~ 's mute outlet for this, in stead of line's (use the maxsustain option of adsr~)

Thanks, I'll try it that way.
