"Double" bi-amping a good idea?

I am running two Bel Canto 200.2 amps in mono with my Martin Logan Prodigy speakers. Each speaker has one amp, so I guess this is called vertical bi-amping.
The Prodigy are pretty power hungry beasts, so here comes my question, since I have a chance to buy another pair of used Bel Cantos quite cheap: What about two amps per speaker? One amp for the treble and one amp for the bass per speaker. Could I further improve the sound or is this money wasted?

My suggestion, would be to definitely bi-amp. Then when you can afford it, purchase an external electronic crossover to actively bi-amp the speakers.
As "Mgottlieb" mentioned, I have had the B&W800's for years and just recently actively bi-amped them (with Krell amps and crossover). It was the biggest improvement that I have ever made to my system!
