Depending on the rums I use I also often double the orgeat and omit the simple. If I'm doing a Jamaican/Martinique combo that is usually what I do. In a Mai Tai with ED12 the extra orgeat can be just a bit overpowering so There I'll either cut it back or increase the lime. I have found that even though my homemade orgeat has a rich, deep almond flavor, it doesn't cut theough a drink the way the chemical commercial stuff does so often I need to dial it up to bring it out in the flavor profile.
