I concur. There is no reason for three bearings along the mast.

As for an intermediate bearing, I'd discourage it. The plates are not
precision items and you'll just introduce bind into the system. Since all
you're trying to do is capture the mast, put the rotator plate in the middle
and skip the bearing - cheaper too. And the upper TB carries all the
weight anyway so a middle bearing doesn't provide any structural help.
Cheers & GL,
