Replacing an Outback FM60 with a Classic 150, what about ground fault protector?

In 2010, we installed an Outback FM60 on an Midnite E-Panel. The positive leg from the 1560watts of PV comes through a 63 AMP DC breaker then through a MidNite Solar 63 amp 150 VDC ground fault protector before getting to the FM60.

I am working on replacing the FM60 with a Classic 150 (so we can add a second PV array and a second Classic 150).

The Classic 150 has "Built in DC-GFP and Arc Fault".

Should I keep the existing ground fault protector in the sequence or remove it?

Remove it, When you add multiple GFP devices you add to the total fault current needed to activate them
