Joe,

You made it perfect. Classes should be based on inputs.

Let's take an example. There are two stations, the station A is "the boy and
his radio", and the station B employs a Skimmer, as well.  The both of them
operate on a band with 50 active stations. The both of them want to fill up
a bandmap.
The station A should either tune to every of the 50 stations and decode each
of them (how long will it take?), or to employ help of 50 other boys and
their radios to make it quickly. The station B gets the bandmap full
instantly and effortlessly.
Do you suggest, the inputs at the two stations are equal?

73,
