Ripping SACD vs regular CD

I have been ripping my CD's using DB Poweramp and have gotten to my SACD's. Some are duplicate titles that I have already ripped a CD for. Is there any advantage to utilizing the SACD cd layer rip? I dont want to overwrite the MOFI DSOTM with the SACD cd layer if its not superior. I could put them in a seperate folder if there is an advantage.

I use the SACD layer analog outputs to a stand alone Tascam CDR.
The Analog outputs from my Cary player playing the SACD layer is of higher quality than the CD layer.

The CDR recording won't be at 24 bit but it usually sounds much better than staright digital.
