We have a plain-jane Graco PNP downstairs as a quick, safe place to set a baby (or two) down where a dog or brother won't step on them. We don't use the bassinet feature on that since the bassinet has a 15lb limit and they passed that up a long time ago (as a pair - still under 15lbs each).
Then, we have a second Graco PNP downstairs left over from DS1, so an older model. We have that set up as a changing area - so, use the changing table on it and have the bassinet loaded with dipes, wipes, extra outfits and burp cloths.
Finally, we have an Arms Reach Cosleeper (full size version) upstairs next to our bed where they sleep at night. That bassinet has a 30lb limit, so they can still sleep there together (and do). They are getting close to 15lb ea so will move into their crib(s) soon.
A friend offered to loan us a twin PNP with the twin bassinet but we never ended up needing it. But my experience with the boys is that they quickly outgrew anything bassinet-sized (you may get a few months' use though if your twins come straight home with you, which is possible - albeit probably not likely - at 34 weeks).
So, I would suggest that you have a place to both change them and set them down on your lower level, whether you choose PNPs or something else.
FYI, we also had two swings downstairs and two swings upstairs as they slept much better in the swings for the first 2-3 months. We have a couple of bouncy seats that we move around the house but they don't get very much use. Now at 5 months old, we often put them in their high chairs when we need to set them down in that part of the house as they love being high up and looking around at the action.
Congratulations, and good luck!! I hope that we see more of you around here!
