layout customisation vs using two layouts - expressjs

Let's say I have one main layout.handlebars and a website with two main sections. Would there be any performance difference if I customized layout.handlebars like this: 

<head>
 <title>{{title}}</title>

 <link href="css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet">
 {{#if section1}}
 <link href="css/section1.css" rel="stylesheet">
 {{else}}
 <link href="css/section2.css" rel="stylesheet">
 {{/if}}

</head>

And rendered like this:

router.get('/section1', function(req, res){
    res.render('section1',{title: 'Section 1', section1: true});
});

Instead of using two different layouts each for both sections of the website?

No performance hit, but you'll end up with messy code.
What if 'section 3' comes along? Another if?

What about

<head>
 <title>{{title}}</title>

 <link href="css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet">
 <link href="css/section1.css" rel="stylesheet">
 <link href="css/section{{section}}.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>

Render it something like:

router.get('/section1', function(req, res){
    res.render('section1',{title: 'Section 1', section: "1"});
});

or

router.get('/section2', function(req, res){
    res.render('section2',{title: 'Section 2', section: "2"});
});
