Parallelism and Repeating Adverbs

Can you tell me if this is correct technically and stylisitically?

The sentence:

SAVING THE WORLD HAS NEVER BEEN SO COMFORTABLE AND SO AFFORDABLE.
  

Top answer

Welcome to the Forums! The second 'so' is not really necessary, but if parallelism is your goal, it's fine. You might also consider 'or' instead of 'and'.
