I'm surprised to hear you say that and I'm not sure if I really agree. As Mario noted:

"6. All rhythmic patterns are usually danced in parallel position.  I checked with
some students of the old guard Milongueros and they agree that Parallel feet 
was preferred for the most musical/synchopated passages."

I've always thought that the crossed system was used when walking outside 
partner as it was then easier to maintain the chest-to-chest contact that is a 
requirement of milonguero style. But I do agree that using double-time steps 
to change from parallel to crossed and vice-versa can certainly add to his own 
musicality.
