Okay..I'm sure this has been asked before but here goes;
ArcServer 10.2 with no image extension, so I cannot publish directly from a mosaic dataset.
20 ortho imagery in TIF format
At ArcGIS 10.0, I would create a MXD and simply add all 20 TIF images to my MXD and create a map service and then create a tiled cache.

Now at ArcGIS 10.21, I was trying something different....I created a Mosaic Raster Dataset using all 20 TIF images and then generated a tile cache from the Mosaic dataset. After the tile generation, I can use the cache and create an image service.

I'm wondering which is better method is better in terms of performance? Also, using a mosaic dataset appear to look better too.
