Small mesh network timing question

I am building pyro firing system that uses XBee Pro Module - ZB Series 2 modules. A very desirable feature of a pyro system is sync’d timing amongst all remote units so you can have a whole row of effects fire all at the same time. If there are 10 Xbees meshed together and I want to have all of them fire perceptively “at the same time” is it practical to send out fire commands one by one to each Xbee? Or should I preload a show script into each unit and then broadcast to the entire network an ‘execute script’ command?

Thanks

it would be far better for the 2nd option. You see the latency on a Mesh network can vary and timing is NOT a guaranteed.
