It depends on what the battle chest comes with. If it comes with both boxes but 1 key then I would not buy it. If it comes with both boxes and two keys then I would.

To maximize play time and minimize cost, do the following:
1) Start multiboxing on trial accounts, upgrade them whenever you want. The time is added, you don't have to wait until the end of the 10days in case you hit 20 soon, which you probably will.
2) Go ahead and buy your copy of the expansion for each account you want to upgrade, but do not upgrade the account yet. This is where it is important to know if the battlechest comes with two keys, which you can use the expansion key seperately, for the next step.
3) When you reach the end of level 57 (or are getting close), goto www.worldofwarcraft.com and do the 10day trial of the expansion. This allows you to reach the end of level 60, and you can do opening quests in Outland. You will level faster and get a big gear boost. You can complete additional quests and such if you like after reaching the end of leve 60, just don't turn them in to the NPC, or you will lose the experience reward from them. Instead, save the turn-in portion until you have upgraded.
4) Use your expansion key to upgrade your account at the end of 60. I'm not totally positive, but I believe it will add to the 10days from the trial.

So you end up with 20 extra days. The first 10 from the original trial add on to play time, even if you upgrade your account early. However,I'm not positive on the expansion trial. So it is at least 10, maybe 20.

edit:
If you are not worried about cost, and want to focus on pure speed:
1)See step 1 above
2) Go ahead and upgrade your account, and find a port/summon for your crew to Shattrah in Outland. Bind at the innkeeper. This will allow you to hearth and take a portal to any of the major cities for your faction. So you don't ever have to worry about extra travel time (like if you are following a quest guide, or need to train a specific weapon skill only available in one city) when you have to go from continent to contient.
