Having a two manual machine sounds a bit richer than one because you have two of everything.
Visually it's striking as well, because two manuals one above the other is not as surprising.
The tapes though in any two manual machine, must be in tune with each other - this is something that gets overlooked when swapping out tape sets.
Obviously the original ~had~ to be built that way (mechanical logistics) but why you would want to connect 2 manuals
side by side in ~modern~ times is beyond me…..

That would be kinda like putting a Ferrari engine in a Ford Cortina with all of the original Cortina Instruments and controls. That would be something, wouldn't it?
