Just revisiting this thread I started as I had a thought.

Are 2 ex600 better than 1 ex1200?

No mate...

More money
An extra plug socket needed
More 'furniture' in the tank
More space needed in the cabinet/on the floor

only advantage is, if one dies, the 2nd should be able to support the load, you can also fiddle with the flow directions a little more, other than that, as minnnt said above, probably more negatives than positives.
