Actually that is good advice. I wasn't thinking about that but I should have. A lot of old plate transformers meant to be used with a conventional full wave rectifier do not fair so well when used with a bridge rectifier to obtain higher voltage output. In any event when it comes down to a simple rectifier over a doubler, the simple rectifier/filter wins every time when it comes to ease and performance.
