You know what, RHG? There are very good arguments for both the compact double and for the triple. You know your needs and temperment and fitness better than we do, and we can talk about what's better ad nauseum, but in the end you need to decide what's best for you.
Here are a few other threads where we hashed this all out - and there are a lot more where that came from...

Good luck on your decision. I don't think you'll go wrong either way (I'll always side for the triple, but I'm an old fart
