I wouldn't. Two studies opens the door to publication bias concerns and muddles the 'replication': rarely do people do a straight replication.

Agreed. It's much easier for a false effect to garner two 'statistically significant' studies with p < .05 than to gain one statistically significant study with p < .005 (though you really want p < .0001).
