Absolutely.
A very large percentage of Technicians are strictly VHF/UHF FM and maybe a
handful are 10m phone operators. How many new ones are going to show up on
that additional 50kHz when they are barely using the existing 80m spectrum
space they already share with Generals and Extras with no restrictions except
power?

Given the crowding among digital mode users in
the 3570 to 3600 kHz portion of the band, I think being able to spread out
those users across another 50 kHz might be a good idea.
As a RTTY contester, I agree 100% with the need for more 80m. spectrum for
RTTY. The need is so great that the technician class issue fails in
comparison, so let's be careful not to encourage the FCC "to throw the baby out
with the bath water".
