Several Questions regarding Data, Numbers Bars Study, and the DOM

Question about data. Am I correct in saying that if I am trading Nasdaq stocks and want MBO data, I only need the US Equities Consolidated tape with market depth (MBO) data files for each symbol I trade and not the files with extension "NQTV" (Nasdaq Total View)? I am under the impression that the US Equities Consolidated tape with market depth (MBO) data files include everything that Nasdaq Total View data files do - correct? Or do I have to run both types of files at the same time? If I have no interest in viewing each limit order at price, does US Equities Consolidated tape data offer any advantage over Nasdaq TV for nasdaq stocks? Also, do all data files of all symbols loaded into SC also load into RAM memory when SC is running, even when you are not actively using a symbol in a chart? In the "Numbers bars Calculated Values" study I cannot find a "change in total volume percent" option. Am I missing this option or does it not exist? In the DOM, can you tell me what the difference is between these listed columns in the SC DOM ("Current Traded BID/ASK Volume", "Bid/ASk Market Orders Column", and "Recent BID/ASK Volume")? How come some of these columns receive no data? They all appear to be the same data to me? Thank you!
