Max, above, is absolutely correct.

One already has an emergency...a gear emergency. One is prepared to deal with that. One need not compound the problem by shutting down BOTH engines in flight...now there's an unusual configuration and change coupled with different flight charactaristics, different glide characteristics, different flare characteristics, an unstabilized approach if the shutdown is done below 1,000', loss of electrics, etc.
