Problem with having multiple smaller fans is low frequency vibrations from the slight mismatch in speeds between the fans. These vibrations are resonated by the air column inside the tube and adversely affect the view even at lower powers. At least that's my experience. Of course if you don't want to run the fans while observing that is not an issue. I like to keep it (just one big one) running because it helps keep dew away.
