An AC kicking in on a 4/0 or even a 1/0 circuit is going to look a bit different than your #2.
Have you asked any of the local Utility planners what they think?

Bill,
Yes actually I did talk with a power consultant and he pretty much agreed with me on paralleled 4/0. He said that we(power comp)only run our 350MCM AL a max of 140' due to voltage drop. We use 350MCM to run from a padmount to a pedestal which can serve 4 houses. But usually these houses are small to medium and their drops only about 50-60'from pedestal.
