Beal Double Ropes - Cobra II or Pro Mountain 25-Jan-2011 At 1:13:16 AM Justcameron

Nah I am going Beal.

After much searching around online (the ropes aren't imported into Australia, or the UK, or the US....) I finally have found a french website that looks like they will ship to Australia and take Paypal.

Now on to length.. I am thinking of getting a 50m and a 60m.
Justification:
Can do 30m abseils (muldoon, alis) with only one rope.
Can belay newbies abseiling 50m (pharos, watchtower faces) (extra 10m of rope is useful for tieing off the ropes and putting in a loop to belay)

But a couple of questions - will the different length ropes cause any problems I haven't thought of?
And would getting 60m doubles instead be useful at any other cliffs? I have only really climbed multipitch at araps.
