If you feel you have too many heads, change the nozzles to a lower GPM.
I would rather have too many for better coverage.
A corner head that turns only 90 deg. will require half the output of a head that turns 180 deg.
Each zone may have a longer or shorter run time.
Your times will not necessarily be the same as your neighbors.
Fine-tuning the system will save water and give better coverage.
