I think this would work, but I haven't used the Merge function enough to know exactly how it works. But, I can't think of an advantage in doing it this way other than not needing to find the book in calibre before replacing it. I suppose it would be handy if you have a lot of books to replace. After adding the duplicates you could use the Find Duplicates plugin help with the merges.
