I guess I just don't find a single unstable.

Rainer, I totally agree with you about lugging the things around. I hate them on land. But I love doubles in the water. Yes, there is a bit more drag, but I don't tend to dive very fast so I don't notice it much. But the side to side and vertical stability with doubles is something I love. I think the absolute most comfortable open water diving I have ever done was the week in Red Sea on the MV Tala, where I dove a light undergarment and double Al80s. All the advantages of doubles, and none of the disadvantages, from my viewpoint.
All right guys, quit picking on my favorite poster (TSandM) although I agree a single HP100 is the bee's knee's of rigs...

There are definitely some doubles that work, and some that don't! We have two sets of LP72s, and I absolutely LOATHE them. I cannot trim them out at all. The 85s and 100s are easy.
I don't know about the Conception, but the dive platform on the Peace wouldn't be bad in doubles. The ladder would be another story, but if somebody reaches down and gives a tug on the manifold, it's almost always manageable.
