My understanding of the use of two routers was that
they should be from different manufacturers, so that the
site was not vulnerable to a single security hole that might
be discovered in any one type of network device.

The two routers will require different filter configurations.
This will reduce the chance that a mis-configuration of filters
will open a hole into the organisation.
