New Breaker Box-Should I upgrade?


I currently have a box rated for 150amps. It has gotten filled with all my dedicated audio lines. Though not an issue currently, I am thinking of upgrading to a 200amp box. If I do, it means a significant expense in moving things to the larger box. My electrician thinks it is unnecessary. For me, I just want to have the ability to add new lines, when needed.
So, the questions are:
1. Should I bother, when everything still works?
2. Would a larger capacity box provide me with a better supply of current that would, in turn, improve my dedicated audio lines?

I don't  think  a larger box would improve your existing lines you aren't  drawing  anywhere near 150 amps at any one time. If you have ideas of a future project that will require more lines all I can say is the price won't be cheaper in a few years to add a new box.
Just for info twin breakers are not allowed in all panel boxes. I would assume your electrician knows this, there is usually a diagram on the box showing how many and where in the box they can be used.
