I have done the Meadows raps with a 70m before. If you decide to try it, be sure to have a full 70m on stretchy (skinny) rope, tie knots in the ends, and be prepared to down-climb a short 4th class section on the last rappel. It did not feel sketchy when I did it.
EDIT to add: Of course if you're rope shopping, then just buy an 80m and you'll be set.

Thanks guys. We'll just make things simple and bring the double.
I just went to the top two weeks ago and we came down the meadows. We bought two 70 meters but realized during the repel that you CAN make it safely down with one 70 meter rope. With a 70 meter rope it will take down to a safe ledge from the top to the meadows. From the Meadows you can rap a line just right (east) of El Cracko Diablo. You will have to do 3 raps. It will Get you down to the base of Soler and TAD. Just scrabble down from there using the east rant approach.
