i don't honestly see much point in doing this unless you are say adding battery backup or solar power or similar to the supply as well. your just adding a high loss cable run (remember if you double the voltage and keep the cable size the same you cut your power loss by a factor of 4 )and yet another conversion step in the path from mains to device.
