I was in the same boat about 2 months ago. I have had the orange perculas for 8 months. Then I added a black one to the tank.
There was enormous amount of chasing. The poor guy was also bit a few times. I took him out and had him in the DT. I wanted to return the black clown.
However, my family fell in love with the black nemo. So after two day I introduced him again in the tank. He somehow found a spot to hide and is always in there.
I eventually took out the orange percs and now he is happy.
I tried to give the orange percs a second chance. I had them in my sump for 2 weeks and then I reintroduced then to the DT. They were chasing the black clown in not time.
It was tough to see the fish you like being chased all around the tank. I took the orange ones out. Now I am happy.
Sorry for the long story, but wanted to warn you. In my opinion it is NOT worth it unless you can take the orange ones out.

If the black were significantly larger than the others - maybe. But 95% of the time it is going to be a mess like reefernets and monroereef said.
YOu could conceivably give away one of the orange ones (assuming it's an oscellaris) and add the black one (since it's just a morph of an oscellaris). The kids would be interesting...
