Dual vacuum pumps?

I have 2 vacuum pumps. I was wondering if having both working at the same time will be of any advantage.
I would either put 2 valves on the bag, or hook up both pumps to a manifold and have a hose go from the manifold to the bag.

My question is: Will the total vacuum pull be stronger, or will the pumps fight against each other?

theyd both be off load and just sit there doing very little. Assuming you have a sealed bag that is.
