Plans for reflector with 2 primaries

Seeing the post about incredibly low cost GSO 12" reflectors has raised a few questions about how I might increase my viewing power. I have been contemplating building a scope with a 16-18" primary, but now I wonder if its possible to build a scope with 2x12" primaries. Has anyone done it? Would it need 2 secondaries? Can it be done with one eyepiece? Would it increase the resolving power compared to one 12" primary, or only light collected?

Any thoughts much appreciated
