So your just after 2 taps?
Or 2 taps plus a font?
Forum sponsors can sort you out. I also have perlicks flow control taps and I recommend them highly. I'd be looking at these.

I'm in the same situation. My kegerater will fit 3 kegs so I'm thinking of upgrading from a dual to a triple perlick all stainless font. Thinking of upgrading my lines to!
Tossing up between that upgrade or a keezer build. Might just use the freezer as a conditioning freezer. Might even store my hops and yeast in there as well. What an idea!
Does anyone know if the perlicks 525ss are okay with having spirit plus soft drink poured through them? Should the line be cleaned very regularly and not left to sit for to long?

after thinking about this so more wondering if I do need to replace font as well? one of the reasons for replacing it all was because of the lack of cleaning ive done over the yrs. In this regard the font should be ok? as the tube runs up this out to the taps and doesn't touch the font.
next questions is, can most taps fit a keg king font? I like the look of the perlick front facing taps.

Most taps will fit, yes. Perlicks definitely.
No real need to replace your font, unless you want to, of course. You can always take the font out and clean it when you're doing your tap upgrade - but obviously your beer doesn't touch the font, so no biggie as far as beer is concerned.
I'd imagine spirits will be fine in an all stainless font.
Re: taps. 500-series taps have been discontinued. You can still find stock, and they're reasonably good value, but that's because the newer, improved 600-series are now out.
630SS are stainless standard and 650SS are stainless flow control (some leaking issues have been addressed in the 600 update).

I was in the same boat here, I have an el cheapo double font and taps. Having a little bit of trouble balancing the system, so i ended up buying a couple of perlick 650SS from overseas. 2 x taps + del was $170ish.
I think i'll make a coffin font for my keezer because i want to end up with 6 taps. Cant seem to find anything cheap to cater for 6 taps.
