Double trunks on Holly Trees - Should I remove one?

Hi,
My young Foster Holly has two trucks. One is about 1.5 inches in diameter and the other about 1 inch. Would the tree benefit from cutting one of the trunks off at the ground. I am concerned about the shape of the tree if it has two leaders. Two trunks will cause a lot of cross branches in the trees interior. It looks very nice right now, its about 12-15 feet tall and is assuming a nice shape. If I do remove one trunk, will I be removing more suckers for the next 10 years as it tries to re-sprout?

Thanks,
Joe
