I agree. It's very useful to have both right and left alt available
when using Emacs for a long time.
On modern keyboards there are often "Windows" and "Mark" keys. I find
that the mark key isn't used very often. If you're not running MS
Windows then the Windows key isn't either. You may want to use one of
those two as the compose key.
