Doing double strokes with normal pedals really isn't that hard, you just need to practice for a few months, it's not like it's a year-long commitment. Unless you take your duallist(s) everywhere you go, you'll only be able to play your double bass licks on your own kit at home. Just practice double strokes for 15 minutes a day (make sure you push yourself to feel the burn), and in 2-4 months you won't need no stinkin' duallist.

In addition, I have heard they have reliability and structural problems. Don't buy them.
