Advantage/Disadvantage of 4 SiPM to 1 SiPM

Whats the Advantage/Disadvantage of 4 to 1 SiPM?

In short, with more SiPMs you get an increase light yield and slightly higher energy resolution for a large crystal. The obvious disadvantage is that it is much more expensive since you need 4x the number of SiPMs. There's a lot of other technicalities like the added capacitance of the sensor array, but mostly these aren't that relevant overall from my experience.

Beside the expensive for 4 SiPM, I can collect more "light" and see more "light". Thanks for clarification.
