Adding a second Mcintosh MC 7270

Hey all, just curious if you think this is a "good move" or not. There is a 7270 power amp for sale locally, and if I can get it for ~1500-1600 I might jump on it. What I would do then essentially have monoblocks (one 7270 on each channel). I'd be going from 1 power amp in stereo at 270W/channel to 1 amp on each channel in mono at 540W.

Would that be much of a gain over my current set up? For what it's worth, if I could get it for $1600, that would put me at about $2800 total into both 7270s. Maybe I'm pissing my money away at this point.

I'm currently set up with:
Speakers:
JBL L250 (eventually to be upgraded to 250Tis)
JBL B460

Cables:
Audioquest evergreen cables
DIY speaker cables using CAT5 cable

Pre/Power:
C32 Pre
MC 7270 Power (stereo, powering the 250s)
JBL Pro Amp 6260 (mono, powering the B460)
