The 2 solutions are quite different. Neither is inherently better, just
depends on what you are trying to do. C.H.'s will give the kind of
illumination shown in his sample pics and looks like it's easy to get
great results. A twin flash setup allows some control over the placement
and type of shadows and relative brightness of parts of the subject,
allowing more flexibility in setting up 3D modeling, eliminating
reflections, etc. Any twin flash setup using T20 and/or T32 flashes
won't have the modeling lights that are built into the T28 twin, so it
will be harder to get the lighting right. Trial and error rather than
TTL lighting setup.
Ring flashes offer yet a another kind of lighting, and even the T8 and
T10 are different in that respect.

I am going to look at that, although CH Ling's simple and elegant
solution seems very attractive. And you can use white acrylic for all
sorts of photographic applications.

Manfrotto make a twin macro bracket that is still available, about
$40.00.
The camera mounts to the bracket center piece and there are two
adjustable
arms to hold the flash heads. There are lots of adjustments to allow
various settings. Not as easy to use as a T28 but it is an
alternative.
