Hi Robert,
               Are you using 110V or 240V neons.  If you're using 240V 
primary neons the answer then, yes it will reduce the current draw - 
unfortunately it will also reduce the power.  You'll get half the rated 
output voltage of the nsts at twice the current.  For example if you were 
using a pair of 6kV 60ma nsts they will each give 3kV 60ma so you'll get 3kV 
120ma in total - but why would you want to halve the power anyway?  If you're 
trying to save cash on a pfc cap you should know : You don't actually need a 
pfc cap - it just improves efficiency.
If you're using 110V primary neons then it will work fine but the higher 
voltage pfc cap will probably cost more than the larger lower voltage cap.

Nick Field
