Think really long and hard (that's what she said) about why you want a double neck and exactly how much you'll play it. For how many songs do you really need both a 6 and 12 string? Also definitely go try one out before purchasing (make sure to play it standing up with a strap). I don't know how heavy the epi double neck is, but I played a carvin (i think) a few years ago and I thought my back was going to break.
