I fail to see any major point of using two cells. Sure you double the run time, but at twice the consumed batteries. The time per battery is close to the same. All that you gain is a longer time between battery changes and then you change twice the number of batteries.

RayT, if you are away from batteries for a while, you would definitely want to take the 2 cell with you. Like if your lost in the woods for example.

Agreed. For an EDC, I would not want the added size of 2-cells, however if I was consciously going somewhere where I know a light is required (camping, hiking, walk in the woods) the 2x123 is the way to go. It not only gives you the added runtime over 1-cell, but allows for a better grip.

OK, that sounds reasonable. When I go camping I generally take along a couple of extra batteries so run time is not an issue with me. I cannot speak for the holdability as I anxiously await my Arc4x and have yet to fondle an Arc4. I will have to take your word for the "feeling."
