A separate get comments button that can be used as needed, just like covers has its own button in the metadata editor. In this case, comments could be left unchecked and downloaded only when needed.
Configure Metadata already has the tick box once for Overall and there is a per source version for when you only like source 'G' for a field

Use the ctrl-D get metadata AND then use the review (far right) button. this allows you to copy the Original (right column) onto the New (Left column)
2 things about this way:
1) you don't get to pick from which set returned to use
2) you can't stop a BLANK from inheriting the Original (possibly bad) value
