Default Dual elevators

I'm curious about the pros and cons of dual elevators. I have several planes with each style. Do any of you program the elevators to mirror the ailerons? Obviously the reduction of one servo in single elevators is an advantage in weight. And I can't really tell any difference in control athority with the dual elevators. I guess you would have to have a stronger servo on the single surface, but are there really any flying differences? Are some of you doing some weird programing that really makes certain maneuvers easier, more impressive? What do you think? All of the planes I have are 40 to 90 size. No large scale. Are the dual elevators more important the larger the plane?
Thanks
