What are the "obvious reasons"?

As another potential option (you would want to Q&A it), what about having an independent 24V converter to power the second solenoid module? It would plug into one of the 20A breakers. I've never seen it done, and from a quick reading of the relevant rules I'm not sure which way the GDC would fall on...
