Al,
I have dual 50A ND alternators and two batteries.  If one quits, I can
crossfeed the two systems and keep everything going and both batteries
charged.  The two little ND alternators together are about a pound heavier
than the Mazda alternator.  Maybe after I have enough hours and build up
confidence (like Ed has done) in a single alternator/battery system, I may
get rid of one of the alternators and the extra battery.  For now, its a
good security blanket.
