Why not ? It's a valid question.

Dual rows of bearing means twice the load bearing area and half the load on the bearing balls so if nothing else logic would dictate that in theory they should last longer.

I think keeping the bearings lubricated is the key to the matter so the seal on the bearings is probably the key.

Where is Jake, it would be interesting to hear how many dual row IMS failures he has had to deal with compared to the single row variety.
