Umbraco UrlRewrite - same page, different querystring parameters

Looking for some help with setting up al UrlRewrite for the same page with different querystring parameters.

Below are the two urls that I am looking to rewrite

stockists.aspx?product=1&fragrance=2
stockists.aspx?store=1

I setup the url rewrite for stockists.aspx?product=1&fragrance=2 (in config/UrlRewriting.config) first and tested successfully.

<add name="Stockists"
  virtualUrl="^~/stockists/(.*)/(.*).aspx"
  rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"
  destinationUrl="~/stockists.aspx?product=$1&amp;fragrance=$2"
  ignoreCase="true" />

I then setup the url rewrite for stockists.aspx?store=1 (in config/UrlRewriting.config) and now neither url rewrite works.

<add name="Stores"
  virtualUrl="^~/stockists/(.*).aspx"
  rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"
  destinationUrl="~/stockists.aspx?store=$1"
  ignoreCase="true" />

Any suggestions on how the above can be achieved?

As it is now, the Stores rewrite would also match the url format that the Stockists rewrite is matching. (.*) matches any number of any characters. To fix this, each (.*) should be changed to ([^/]+). That will match any character except a forward slash and also makes sure that there is at least one character.

<add name="Stockists"
  virtualUrl="^~/stockists/([^/]+)/([^/]+).aspx"
  rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"
  destinationUrl="~/stockists.aspx?product=$1&amp;fragrance=$2"
  ignoreCase="true" />

<add name="Stores"
  virtualUrl="^~/stockists/([^/]+).aspx"
  rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"
  destinationUrl="~/stockists.aspx?store=$1"
  ignoreCase="true" />

Now, this might not completely solve the problem, but it should allow the Stockists rewrite to work again. I suspect there is something else wrong with the Stores rewrite, but the Stockists rewrite stopped working because the url pattern was matched by the Stores rewrite.
