A very nice setup. Perhaps the new panels provide an opportunity for some redundancy.

Connecting the new panels through another charge controller could provide independent charging in the event of a failure anywhere in the original panels - cables - controller setup.

Set it to a slightly lower voltage to prevent excessive current going into the batteries when they are almost full.
