This depends on what idle speed you need. The single rotor idles at about 1200RPM sort of ruff. If I have a good idle at 1600RPM, it is good for my airplane. That is because my prop is running at 2000RPM max-600RPM at idle at this time with the SOOB. With the single, it will run at 500RPM at 1600 idle, or even less if I get the right gear ratio. On a fast airplane it is a different story. However, what are you fast drivers idling at now?
