2 operators also adds a lot more wages, but yes, you do get done faster.2 operators in 2 machines can get more done. You can work 2 sites at once with 2 machines which I do frequently. Also if one machine were to break you still have half your equipment vs none.
Probably depends more on the task than anything. Some city work has very little room for 2 machines.
