Two things to consider:
1. You can still go fast even if with 2 NEMA17 motors on the carriage. What you have to reduce are the jerk and acceleration settings in the firmware keep your printer from vibrating.
2. There are lighter motors around. http://trinitylabs.com/ sells light PG35 motors with gears.
3. I would also suggest getting some experience with 1 extruder first, before going for 2.
