Yup, as Nick was trying to tell us, for the type of image, and image structure, it works really well.
There are many print esthetics, and many possible ways to get there.

Regarding double strike printing, I found it important to let it dry very thoroughly before the second strike. There is a 
definite increase in density. More than using a rich black with a RIP. That's as far as I took it.
Dan, and I think David Stock, were experimenting with this way back when...
