Comparing the two, I don't think the hard scroll is a big deal since the scrolling is only "intermittent" and on irregular shapes (you don't get the effect of watching a horizon stutter along) it's not as noticeable. That being said, is the grouping a hardware limitation of some kind (are you doing a full reposition of sprite(s) each scanline or just a relative reposition)? Can't you just fudge the platform generation to prevent clumping - ie:, check if there's a platform just above and if there is, regenerate (or skip generation until later)?
