Twin pointed needle

Hi all!! I am doing some online shopping on cross stitch stuff, and I saw something called "twin pointed quick stitch needles" , making from the brand "john james", the needle eye is in the center, do any of you use this before? Is it worth to buy?

They look really interesting. I have never used one but would like to hear from people that have.

I bought a set.  They are great for two handed stitching with a stand.  They are long so you must be aware that your clearance from top to bottom has to be much greater.  
The only thing I didnt like about them is the fact I would splice my thread as I was stitching straight down and back up through and found it would catch in the thread underneath.  You may find too, that it might knot up more so you do have to stitch a bit and check the undersides for knots and splices.  Otherwise they are a great idea.
