I say go for it if you can afford the additional expense. I got lulu when lex was a year old and we had a bit of jealousy for maybe three or four days. I made sure to be home to watch them and acclimate them. I babied the heck out of him for the first few days that she came and didn't give her a ton of attention. After those few days all was well. They are best buds now. I chose to get a female so we wouldn't have any of the alpha behaviour in the house plus I wanted a girl to do the girly things to her...lol.
Good luck in choosing. It's been great because they have each other to play with and she is learning to go potty outside faster because of him.
