Two degrees: any real benefit?

Hi, those of you that know me from these boards probably have seen me talking a lot about law school and being a bioengineering student at Lehigh. Well I completely revamped my schedule this year and I am here with a very different question. As a result of two summer sessions and the large courseloads taken during my freshman year, I am now a standing Junior at my school (55 credits as a sophomore). However seeing as I do not want to graduate early I was considering doing a double Bachelor of Science program where I will graduate in four years with two degrees:biochemistry and behavioral neuroscience. My intentions are to go to graduate school but I was wondering if spending the extra time on two degrees would be worth it, rather than just graduating early with one BS?

Note: I already started research this year and I am making sure that my future courses will not compromise that.
