Not quite since the smaller Collidor pre-dated and was distinct from the new facility. But “Why buy one when you can buy two at twice the price” is still a good rule of thumb.
For example, how many people realize there are two multi-billion dollar Shuttle launch facilities, with one that is never referred to at Vandenberg.
