If you are after a dual panel file explorer/Finder for MacOSX, try this software, been using this for a while and absolutely loved it.
They run a Facebook survey through surveyMonkey (to get feedback for version 9) and towards the end of the survey, you'll be given with a discount code to reduce it's RRP. The code looks generic, thus the reason I post it.

Tons of Features
* Dropbox integration
Full Dropbox integration. Just link your account and you're all set up
* Modules everywhere
Fully customize your browser window with our new simple drag and drop module system.
* FolderSync
FolderSync is Cocoatech's Folder Comparison and Synchronization tool. And it's powerful.
* Folder Merging
Merge contents of two folders when copying/moving instead of overwriting.
* Arranging and Grouping items
Arrange files in a group based on a specific file attribute.
* Editable Path Navigator
Directly type in the Path Navigator to get to your files quickly.
* One-Click Dual Pane Copy
Use Path Finder's intuitive dual-pane browser to copy files from one pane to the next, with just a single click.
* Secure Delete
Secure delete using 1, 7 or 35 passes on any volume type.
This deal is worth it. But mainly because the Finder is so goddamn awful and Apple likes it that way.
