Fuzzy, why are you looking at sidemount already?
I'd highly recommend taking a class like Essentials or Fundies, and working on your basic skills for a while. I understand that the topography at Monterey makes big gas supplies very attractive, but moving to a large single tank is a better change, I think, than going to doubles right away, no matter HOW you configure them.
I like the idea of being able to put my tanks on in the water instead of walking with one on my back. And the greater trim efficiency. And I just want to try something different. Plus there is redundancy for when I dive solo.
