If you use two different units with low ratios and different attack and release characteristics, you're more likely to get a less "stamped" sound.
Another thing to keep in mind when using several units is that compression is mulitplicative. Using one unit set to 4:1 and one unit at 6:1, you're ultimately getting a ratio of 24:1, not 10:1.
