Although a sometimes busy management excercise, the Renton twins were better together than either of them alone. Only my perspective. Having spent many hours in mountainous environments, I've always liked knowing that I would have a little more thinking and planning time before landing after an engine failed. Very often it was only a 1/2 reduction in the rate of descent. Never the less it was more time.
