I'm guessing you mean federating using the ActivityPump API, which is
what is equivalent to PuSH+Salmon mix (which can also use AS as a
format).

Except for the payload (activities), what other things do you feel are repeated?

I prefer the other model with an endpoint per user, because if done
right (playing nicely with the web and HTTP), you get all the
advantages:  like for example, issuing a 301 response to notify a user
has moved.
