Default parallel chokes in a power supply

I need opinions on the use of two chokes in parallel in an otherwise
standard Pi type filter. c - L//L - c
Assuming nearly identical chokes, ie, same part number and
manufacturer, will there be any problems?
I know the combined parallel inductance and resistance will be one half
that of a single choke, and the current capacity will be doubled.
Will one choke "take over" and burn out?

I have "space in the chassis problems", so I can't use one big choke.
