If you are making good progress in both labs, neither of your PIs mind, and the split nature of your attentions doesn’t mean that you are doing mediocre work in both (as opposed to excellent work in one), then I think it should be a neutral to good thing. But if you just finished your sophomore year, you have two years left - why not devote all of your energies to the lab in the area you want? It’s not uncommon for undergraduates to switch labs once they secure a position in a lab that does research they’re interested in.
