Repotting Cattleya amethystoglossa

[Catsnotkids]

Hello, we have a very large C amethystoglossa which we have had for several years which is growing out of its pot. My husband and I are in disagreement over what to do with it. He wants to grow it into another pot and divide it and I think that's way more complicated than it needs to be. I want to just repot it into a bigger pot but for some reason he thinks the large stalks are too likely to be damaged. Maybe we're both wrong. Please help!
