Should I retake SAT?

I’m entering my senior year in high school. I got a 33 ACT that superscores to a 34. I only took the SAT once and got a 1410. I’ll be sending SAT II’s to all of my schools. Since my ACT is higher, I’ll send my ACT and my SAT II’s, but not my SAT score. However, for some of my schools (UPenn, Georgetown, Cornell, and UMD), the entire SAT history is required. This means that if I sent my SAT II scores, they would also see my 1410 SAT.

If I retook the SAT, I’m confident that I will get at least a 1500 without too much studying; however, is it worth the time and money to retake it? Or will my schools not care if my SAT is a lot lower than my ACT?
