We use mostly double solenoids. Last year, everything fit the model. Intake arm up and down, cheval/portcullis wedges up and down, shifting up and down (yes, vex 3-cim ball shift gearboxes).
So if you have something like shifting, it doesn't make sense to use two single solenoids when you can simply use a double solenoid.
