YOu need a lot more than an extra first stage. YOu will need a new wing and bands .

PS manifolds make nice carry handles hehehe

No they don't and (just to make sure all people get it) they EXPLICITLY shouldn't be used as such... If you carry your twins by a manifold you put their o-rings to a lot of pressure which they are not supposed to bear...

Never carry your doubles by manifold!!!!

.... and learn how to shut down valves, how to manage gas, watch out for buoyancy swing etc, etc. Start off easy using the doubles set as a single on easy dives. Get to know the tanks and rig first.
 
when and if you start diving doubles you will want a manifold with an isolator. also when diving into overhead environments you would prefer to have 2 first stages there for you can either use doubles with a manifold, or a single tank with h-valves.
