It takes a good chunk of airplane to carry 500k worth of payload, and you can't exactly hang that off of one wing. The twin fuse design gives you the space to package people and systems with a central position for that big mass of payload. The twin tails shouldn't be any more problematic than just having one. They are far enough apart I doubt you even get any airflow interference between them.
