Default Degassing

Hello All -

Quick question here about degassing. I have a degassing wand that under the
instructions should not be operated over 1200 RPM - no problem. My question
is which of these two options is better -

1.Operate the drill at a lower speed (550 rpm) which will allow it to be in
the wine for the 15 seconds in the instructions or

2.operate the drill at high (1000 rpm) which i can only do in 3-4 sec bursts
before a vortex starts to form (which i obviously don't want)


I know the real answer is 3.) which is to age the wine to naturally degass
in a glass carboy but due to the amount of space in my apartment just isn't
possible yet (i'm working on it)

Thanks to all that respond,
Jason
