Using Two Portable Solar Suitcase Panels

I currently have a 100w Renology solar suitcase panel that I connect to my (parallel) batteries via Anderson Pole connectors / panel mount. As you can see from the graphic, a second set of inputs is available. A friend is lending me his 100w Renology suitcase, so I would have two! Would there be any disadvantage to connecting / running both panels at the same time - each with their own independent controller plugged into the panel to have 200w?

Connecting two suitcase panels and controllers to your batteries simultaneously is fine to do with no ill effects.
