Roland DB-500 into Trace Elliot stack?

Hey everybody

In the band room and on stage, I play through a stack consisting of a Trace Elliot AH300 SMC, going into a Trace Elliot 4x10h and a Trace Elliot 1x15. I love this stack with an obscene passion of horrific proportions.

However, I also love my Roland DB-500, and my Roland provides me with features that I want to use in this particular rock band situation - features that the Trace Elliot lacks, such as foot-switch-able memory, digital chorus, amp-modelling, etc, etc.

Now, I love the sound of both amps. I would be more than happy with either. The big question is this:

Would it be a good idea to run the effects send of the Roland into the effects return of the Trace Elliot? For example, could I create the following stack:

Trace Elliot head, sits on
Roland DB-500, sits on
Trace Elliot 1x15 cab?

Or is this a terrible idea that I should abandon immediately?

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance! Sorry for the rambling post.
