How many bailout tanks?

There have been a few threads on bailout already here, but I have a new thought, and wondered peoples opinion.

Currently I dive with 2x 7L ally bailout tanks for my deeper dives (one with 18/35 and one with 60%), if I want to go deeper, I will need more bailout. I see that I have 2 options (sticking with ally tanks for now):
1. Get another ally 7
2. Get 2x Ally 80s

Both these options will give me about 21-22 litres total volume of gas, but with 3 tanks I can have more efficient deco gasses than with 2 tanks. I also have 3 first and second stages so a single failure is less catastrophic, losing 1/3 instead of 1/2 my gas....

Apart from the logistics of carrying 3s stages, does anyone see a downside?
