The benefit lies in producing the best uniformity and coverage with minimal overlapping or over illumination on the sides of the area. Therefore with the HS1 when using multiple lights you are trying to target one specific area with one light. With that considered selecting the best diffuser in most cases is just about what shapes fit the best inside other shapes with consideration to the shape of the area, number of lights and if the lights will be used for top lighting or interlighting.
Looking at a 1.2mx1.2m tent for top lighting
The tent has a square area.
The 80° x 80° diffusers produces a square/circular footprint.
The 90° x 60° diffuser produces a rectangular/elliptical footprint.
2 lights cannot occupy the center of the grow room at the same time, so with the 80° x 80° diffuser you will always have a lot of overlapping and primary intensity of the light hitting wall of the grow tent and the corners not receiving enough light.
If you split the 1.2m x 1.2m in half you are left with 2x rectangular 1.2m x 0.6m areas. Using the 90° x 60° diffuser to cover these 2 rectangular areas separately with the 90° axis running in parallel to the 1.2m length on the rectangle and the 60° axis running in parallel to the 60cm side of the rectangle you will cover the 1.2m x 1.2m with less overlapping and reaching further to the edges than the 80° x 80° diffuser.
