That's incorrect and a commonly held misunderstanding of the mythical duplicate content penalty across different sites. Duplicate content is bad if it's on your own site.
The real risk here is that one will be canonical and the other won't if you run two sites with the same content. You need to use the rel="canonical" tag to sort that out.
I still wouldn't run two sites. I would 301 the less important domain to the more important domain.
