Airbandit. Yes correct you would be both dual FAA and JAA licensed and rated. Nothing crazy about that either.
Also the FAA has a written exam and oral exam per license and/or rating so the thoery part of the FAA can be covered alot more quickly than the JAA 14 thoery exams. The FAA writtens are a matter of leaning the questions to an extent; for the oral exams you will really need to know the subject (in some ways a good system you can't just learn stuff from a question bank it is a test of your true understanding of aviation knowledge).
