Is there any benefit from having twin flashes

I have a 580 EX II flash.  It is great but it does not keep up with my T1i camera.

It occurs to me that I can get a dual flash bracket and hook up two flashes in parallel, I'll have twice the power or maybe half the recycling time.  Or I can use twice as much power bouncing off the ceiling.  Thinking of justifying a 600 EX flash

Does anyone have any experience doing this?  Any advice?  Or am I being simplistic?  I am shooting my daughter's kid performance at school or Thanksgiving photos.

Thank you for your advice.
