That should do the trick. Even if I doubt the gain would be significant, 
you can use both the DFFs in there in series. It is the common way to 
reduce the effect of unsynchronized signal into DFFs as there may be 
meta-stability, so using two DFFs in series helps reducing the added 
noise if the first DFF goes meta-stable. The '74 should be protected to 
some degree if I recall things correctly, but it's there and free... so 
why not?

Cheers,
