It's neither particularly wrong nor right.  There are legitimate reasons for 
choosing singles with dual outlet valves.  Similarly, there are reasons for 
selecting doubles with isolation manifolds.  There are situtaions where a set 
of double tanks has a significant advantage, just as the same is true for a 
single.  A set of twins is not an inherently evil piece of gear, nor is a 
single with an H/Y valve.  The point being, each has its place and used 
properly is not necessarily more or less hazardous than the other.
