We are talking about the *same* font face and family where 90+% of all glyphs are the same and only few differ by language code. Regarding the 'locl' feature: It may work well in up-to-date software, but it surely doesn't work in older installations. So, providing both ways would probably best. I.e. give the user two choices: use the font with the 'locl' feature first and if that doesn't work for you, then try the .ttc approach.
