Plus the foam ones need to be replaced often (I don't do it every time however), and even the earmuffs, you need to monitor them for the spongy stuff becoming stiff. I don't think I would trust molded-to-ear custom plugs, too much can vary from time to time to make them as effective as a double-setup, that's my 2 cents.
This is all for my indoor 100 yd range, where blast and noise are louder than if outdoors, for outdoors I've used single muffs at times and seems ok.
I use to use the double system like you use. It is fine for pistol shooting but the headset ear muffs get in the way of shooting rifles which is what I shoot mostly nowadays.
