It's not just that though, client selection of SUPs is *not* location aware for the exact same reason that client selection of MPs is *not* location aware. Multiple SUPs and MPs within a single primary site are only for high availability and cross-forest scenarios.

It could also mean 400 clients at 10 sites. To answer your question we need more information. Why are you considering installing WSUS or a SUP on a DP?
