Hi crashdown, and welcome!
Yes, another EDS will double your "card" tracks to 32, and double your EDS FX at the same time. Note you can't bus across submixes - the EDS FX on Submix 2 are only available to tracks on Submix 2 (well, it's not designed to permit it, but there are some more or less effective workarounds).
$295 for 3.0? Holy cow, I hadn't realized anybody was still asking that price - that's what it was *eight years ago* when a Bundle III was a few grand. If that's not an error, that price seriously needs updating to reflect current market realities, in a time where entire Bundle IIIs including a transferrable license for 3.0 software are trading hands for not much more than that $295.
Until this is addressed my recommendation is to bide your time and watch the classifieds here. Find a used Bundle III with 3.0 software included for not much more, and transfer the 3.0 license, thereby getting 3.0 *and* an entire second PARIS rig thrown in for little more than what you're saying you were quoted for the software alone. Then either integrate the second bundle into your setup, keep it for spares or resell components you don't need in order to recoup part of your purchase price.

It's a good upgrade, no doubt. But at that frankly unrealistic price, there's simply no value comparison possible between a 3.0 upgrade and an extra EDS card. The latter is half the price of the former yet *doubles* both your track count and your FX processing; until that pricing is revised, that's where the bang for the buck will remain.
ID, if you're reading this - flip over to the classifieds here to help put the situation in perspective. I'll contact ID directly about this after this crazy weekend is over.

Check the Mike Audet link at the very top of this page - Mike has taken up the PARIS coding banner from Chuck's great Skunkworks, and put out a wide range of new (and very high quality) plugins for your EDS slots. In addition, he's released new drivers that have given PARIS an entirely new lease on life. Mike's been on fire future-proofing PARIS lately - his current task is rewriting the ASIO drivers, which is going to open a lot of new doors.
