I don't know; I see the venture of one power source (while complicated) could potentially be lighter than multiple ones. I mean; even if you have to build a monster gearbox, it'd still only have to be twice the size (maybe less if you're good at compaction) than having two smaller gear boxes. Have to mount 2 motors in a gearbox? Have a gear box X size. Have to mount 4 motors in a gearbox? Have a gear box 2X size. Am I right? So the weight evens out there.

But then you can have a single transmission for the whole thing; 1/2 the pneumatics, 1/2 the mounting, 1/2 the gearing.
