personally, i wouldnt be interested in dilluting the market for ray's product. ray offers a quality part at a CHEAP price relative to the quality and performance his products offer.
im sure he could accomodate your desire to run duals by modifying his design.
Ray is in the process of tooling up again here in the us and i think it would be worth the wait. ray's brakes are based on the orig tim peterson design and i have them on all 4 corners of my trucks. i wouldnt use anyone elses parts as ray has always gone out of his way to provide excellent customer service and advice during my engine, power steering and brake conversions. id be interested in seeing parts made by someone else, buy would give ray the nod at order time. i like daniel tibus' parts as well and would buy them if i had a need. super strong axle shafts and lockers are not needed on my restored command car.
support the guys you like and know. if you do, they'll be around to service you.
i am not trying to offend in any way, im just expressing my thoughts on doing business with a guy like ray and answering you question about interest level. brakes are an important piece of the live / die equation. parts made by someone running them on his own vehicle(s) go a long way in choosing who to use.
good luck,
