Unless other bits of your chain are actually stereo (different delays or effects in opposite channels), stereo reverb just sounds like a waste of money to me.
but if you're doing the 1982 thing of chorus in one side and dry in the other, then it might make sense.
If both cabs are getting the same signal, I wouldn't bother.
Disclosure: I play through a phase shifter, a Buzz Tone and either:
Fender Twin with its own tube reverb, or;
Session 500 or LTD400 and one channel of an MPX100.
If you're gigging rather than recording, as soon as the Tele barks or the fiddle squawks, yer stereo effects get rendered moot.

Great little reverb. The mono will do anything needed. I have had 3 Lexicons. You spend more time adjusting it than playing. With the Wet Reverb just 2 knobs . Set it and forget it.
