The first peerage ceremony I witnessed had the four-peerage-spokesperson thing and I was treated to sotto voce outraged hissing from the old-time-Westerner next to me about how They Were Doing It All Wrong. That said, some folks do opt for that and it's becoming a bit more accepted - this week's new Pelican had four peers speak for him.
The whole SCA concept of a vigil has always bemused me: the historical knightly vigil is all about contemplation, not having one's ear bent by all and sundry with advice. I'm not certain I want an SCA style vigil.
