Leave spaces between rack mount equipment?

Ok, so I have a 24u cabinet with say 15-18u of equipment, some of which will eventually move somewhere else.  Would you mount it all together, or would you spread it out with spaces in between, or does it matter?

Ok, so I have about 16u going into a 24u cabinet.  There are 3 2u servers, which all will probably be relocated to a new location in a few months, but I may add one more server to this location after the fact.  I think both sides are right, maybe I will put all the routers, switches, and patch panels in together, and just leave spaces between the servers.

Thanks guys, I am going to consolodate things.  I'm not clear on if there is any validity to spaces making airflow not go the way it is meant to go.  Regardless, thanks for your input.
