I'm a big proponent of having two bengals, partly because they are potentially the best playmates for each other, and partly because as an owner there are many behaviors you will only see when cats interact with each other. So there are potentially some big plusses.
But as far as the likelihood that Zara will accept another cat, it's really all about her personality, so actually you are going to have more insight into that than anyone else. Perhaps you got to witness her as a kitten? Or her reaction when a neighbor cat comes near the house? At 5 months she's still pretty young and likely much more accommodating than she will be 6 months or a year from now. But yea... always a risk. If you decide to do it, make sure you read up on how to introduce cats to one another, and some strategies for handling difficulties should they occur.
One other aspect of it, is that some people report that if the introduction goes well, and the cats get along well, it could come somewhat at the cost of Zara's relationship with you (at least in the short run). They become each other's best friends, and are less interested in sitting in your lap etc.... something to consider.
