The big question is whether there is a vapor barrier under the cellulose. I think that you have to have a vapor barrier to keep moisture from condensing in the insulation.

I recently went through scraping up shredded fiberglass loosefill, putting down faced batts, respreading the loosefill and then topping with a layer of batts.
