A very experienced aftermarket Porsche garage owner told me that the double row bearing has a major advantage that when it fails (and it will) the first row that goes makes enough noise (if you're lucky) that if you shut it down really quickly and tow it away you likely have not done serious damage as the second row is holding things together briefly. But with a single row bearing, the engine is likely shot when you hear it go.
Best of luck.
