If you're trying to build a tough monster, elite array, NPC gear based on your new CR, and two levels of cleric are all only +1 to CR for any creature that doesn't already cast as a cleric (if it does cast as a cleric, then use Bard instead).

But just elite will up it by +4 or so, the rest is gravy.
