Either (the wing dish with a DP Dual and a DPPlus Twin on the main dish, or a 1000.2) will work to get 129, but you might actually need to get 61.5 instead, if your locals or your local RSN is on 61.5 and not 129. The national HD channels are mirrored on both. If you need 61.5, a wing dish is the way to go.

Yes, I suppose you could use your existing DP Twin for your "wing dish", but you would be better off picking up a DP Dual instead, as those are designed to pick up only a single satellite, and there is no built-in switch to confuse the DPP Twin that you'll use on the main dish. Ideally, you'd want an I-adapter instead of the Y-adapter as well.

A 2-dish setup is actually slightly better than a single-dish setup for signal strength, which means slightly less problems with rain/wind fade in stormy weather. There is no such thing as a difference in picture quality, though. Either you get enough signal to get a picture, or you don't. There's very little middle ground with a digital signal.
