T&T: One bow windlass or two ?

I am in the process of restructuring the bow/anchor windlass area on a 54 
foot Krogen. I tore out everything from the deck to 6 inches down on the 
forward bulkhead at thr rope locker. I'm going back with a much more 
substantial framework. My question is, would mounting 2 windlasses on the 
bow be a good thing? I have 2 chain lockers and 2 rope lockers, and was 
thinking about installing hawse pipes through the deck and hull, plus a 
smaller pulpit "dinner hook".  The cost is not a major determining factor 
but the frame work would be different for a single versus twin setup. Your 
thoughts are appreciated.
