Magnets 8 or 12 ?

[Sandman_bm]

I am at the point of installing the electrickery stuff and due to the design need to remove the centre of the magnet discs, I have 8 and 12 magnet discs my question is " is one better than the other" I can see more magnets = more pulses per rev which my simple mind says smoother, but is it more power hungry?
thanks for any input

The pedal sensor doesn't consume any significant current regardless of the number of magnets. The more the better, I guess, though I've never noticed a difference.

Thanks for the rapid reply,now I can destroy the centre of the magnet rings and see if my mid drive setup works
