Stacking 2nd floor LG's--opinions?

We currently have the LG WM2487 and DLGX7188 FL pair sitting on pedestals. For storage reasons we're contemplating stacking them. There is a stacking kit available. It's a main floor installation over a full basement, tile floor over conventional residential construction.

Currently there is mild to moderate vibration with the washer-it will gradually creep a 1/4'' side to side after a heavy load, but nothing I would consider excessive. Questions are:

Will the vibration be better due to the weight of the dryer "holding" the washer down, or will the height exaggerate vibration?

Will the concentrated weight "stress" the floor more?

Is there any concern that the vibration may affect the dryer electronics etc and shorten lifespan?

Any other pros or cons?

Thanks!
