Alltrax has a wiring diagram for wiring up two speed controllers if for some reason it ends up being cheaper to use two smaller controllers then one larger one.
Disadvantage to having two motors would be cost and weight, a motor half the size is not always going to weigh half as much or cost half as much, altho that sometimes is the case, it all depends on what you can get in your area.
Advantage of course is that you don't need a differential and it opens up more motor options.
