I'm under the impression that the 3374 is quite different from two
3340s. What makes the 3340 so great is the on-chip multiplier which
eliminates the need for external tempco. The 3374's tempco scheme
uses the system's CV generating DAC as a multiplier, which is a brilliant
idea, but makes the 3374 less suitable for non-uP-DAC systems (such as 
modulars). Do correct me if I'm wrong. :)
