Well, as it doesn't buy you anything, I'd disagree: It would hurt.
It would make the setup more complex with no gain.

You won't find the MAC adress of the attacker. You'll find the MAC
adress of your upstream router/switch.

Don't spend too much time, as it's a waste. You will NOT see
my MAC address. Not because I try to disguise it, but because
it won't be available to you. That's simply how TCP/IP works.
