Should I take the SAT?

I took the ACT twice, and I got a 34 (34 math, 34 science, 33 English, and 36 reading) the first time and another 34 (34 math, 33 science, 34 English, 35 reading) the second time for a 35 total super-score. I've heard that colleges view a 34-35-36 ACT as basically the same, and that colleges see the ACT and SAT as equivalent; I would like to attend a top 20 school like Duke or Stanford. So, going back to my question, should I bother taking the SAT?
