I don't see any reason why not to use both of them. Why not double the security?

We run both of them daily. It seems to be the right thing to do. You will never know when someone decides to strike. They probably wouldn't wait until the weekend to do it icon_biggrin.gif

I agree, there's definitely no harm in running both. Just remember to keep them updated! icon_smile.gif
