The way you have those three drives angled in, there is no need for the second wheel. It will never touch the floor. If it does, you have bigger issues to deal with!
Obviously some years are better than others for kiwi drives but I think 1425 and 1501 proved that a well built kiwi drive can compete amidst heavy defensive pressure. My initial thought process for having dualie omni wheels was that I was worried about a single omni wheel not being strong enough. Now that you've pointed that out, my logic doesn't make a whole lot of sense!
