Answer
Hi.
To be honest I still don't think it's a good idea. Your hamster will not be lonely on her own, and will just fight with another hamster. In very special circumstances it may work, but in most cases they will fight until one dies. It is up to you, but I wouldn't if I were you.
Best of luck whatever you decide,
