Default Double sitting new CAS Uppers, what do you think?

Without boring you with too many details, I'm thinking about double sitting for new 6 and 8 next fall (old 7 and 9). I won't have any spring exams left so I'd like to save a year of travel time.

I've passed 6 exams in a row w/o failing, and will only attempt this if I pass 2 more in the next 2 sittings.

Pros:
1. Save 1 year of travel time if I pass both. Stay on track if I pass either one.
2. Feel like I can do it
3. Exams are only 3 hours now so 6 total hours instead of 8
4. First time either exam is administered. I feel like those are always gimmes when compared to future versions.

Cons:
1. These are the 2 most difficult exams based on peoples responses in some vote I found in a search.
2. Add 1 year of travel time if I fail both.

Anyone done this successfully or not that has some advice?
