I agree, for the entry update scenario, the total round-trips turns
out to be same. But I'm not quite understand the last sentence, can
you elaborate a little more?

I like the idea. But for now, client doesn't really need a separate
full-content feed. I mentioned the entry data is light-weight..
actually this makes almost no difference between abbreviated and
full-content.

Anyway it turns out, adding an atom:category element to label a
full-content feed will just work.
<feed>
  <category scheme="http://purl.org/net/atomcat-general";
term="containsFullRepresentationEntries"/>
  ..
</feed>
