Is there any point in running 4150 and 1033 transformers together in phase?

Hey Guys,

I have a 4150 transformer, that looks almost new, and yesterday , for $10, I got a 1033 transformer that looks almost new.

My layout is complete, and it has a fair amount of track.  An  8 1/2  foot large loop on the outside, and a series of twisting (continuous) figure 8 design on the inside.  (no reverse loops)

Eventually, I would like to get an LW transformer, but right now that would be way outside of my budget.

Would there be much benefit to my layout if I connected the 4150 transformer to my 1033, and ran them in phase?  (I run the output through a bridge rectifier, to convert the current to DC, and then to the track.)

Thanks for all advice.
