Condoms with spermicide are a bit of a marketing gimmick. They don't actually contain enough spermicide to make a difference if the condom should break. They reassure people that they're safe, which is good I guess, but it's only really the illusion of using two methods at once, not the reality.
I've also heard of people feeling the effects of the spermicidal condoms quite a while later - some of the lube stays inside you if you've been having sex using it! For a trial run I would probably be inclined to just use a small amount of the brand of spermicide you plan to use properly (with, obviously, another method of contraception) and see what happens. But I like limiting all unecessary factors like that, hehe.
