If a Hero has been set aside with Gathering of Angels, then he's set aside a second time with Gathering of Angels, does he get to band to two Heroes when he enters battle?

At the time two tournament last weekend I heard some very knowledgable players rule both ways so I'm curious as to what the official answer is.

Gathering of Angels
Type: Hero Enh. • Brigade: Silver • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Set Hero aside for 4 turns. On return Hero gains ability to band to any Hero until discarded.

I don't know if there's anything in the rulebook that says otherwise, but I agree with Hedgehogman. I see no reason why you couldn't get two banding special abilities out of two Gathering of Angels. You can gain abilities (*/*) from multiple different set asides, I don't see why this would be any different.

Thanks, everyone.  That was my assumption and also how Bill ruled it.  Another correct ruling for "Wild Bill"! 

FWIW, the REG supports this:

Instant Abilities -> Set-Aside -> Special Conditions

•      If a Hero was previously a banding card, each Gathering of Angels card adds an additional Hero that may be banded into battle.  Multiple Gathering of Angels cards may be played on the same Hero.
