Stiffer? Should be. Lighter? Maybe. By using dual crowns the theory is that they can use "lighter" (thinner) tubes and bits and have greater structural rigidity due to a couple of different physics wonders. Some folks love them, some folks hate them (go figure). Once again, as is all in the mtb world, it's a matter of personal preference. Take care.
