Given all that, the fact that two or three copies isn't mass produced enough to generate much cost savings, and the risk if you screwed something up the one error kills both missions, it's not difficult to understand why you don't do that. If NASA had enough money for a dozen probes at a time, maybe, but it's hard enough to get Congress to cough up money for *one*.
