I think it would come down to the Incan language and if we can reliably say that there were two different "ch" sounds in Incan which aren't readily distinguishable by modern ears. The doubling of a consonant in a Roman alphabet, if done in a consistent manner, generally indicates a pause before the consonant is voiced.

So I guess we have to ask an Incan language scholar...
