Willow, leave as is or chop up?

Collected some decent sized willow cutting about 2 weeks ago, the weeping willows are shooting and forming root so thought i'd start thinking more about what to do with the biggest. I was originally going to have it as 1 large tree but now i see other options. I see 2 places that i could cut to give 2 or 3 smaller tree's with better taper. What do you guys think? 1 big or 2 or 3 smaller tree's?
Edit. Pics are around the wrong way

Definitely 2 or 3 smaller ones John.
No value in tall ones that thin, so best served reduced.

Cheers mate. Was one of those things that looked good at the time but once home and seeing it ev eryday it just didnt look right. The tortured will need to be chopped into about 3 aswell, thick trunk but no taper at the size it is.
