How about shunt feeding the taller tower?

Hello...
I am now in the final stages of putting up a serious 160m ant. Either
will have a K2AV FCP. and a common mode choke.
Question:
Both antennas will be approximately 80-90 feet vertical between two
towers which are 60 feet apart, plenty or room for either. Actually one
tower is 115 feet tall and the other is 92 feet tall. The guy wires on
the towers are broken up in numerous non-resonant lengths. To be
resonant at 1.830mhz, I calculated the resonant length to be 127' 10.5
". Assuming an "L" antenna, that would mean the horizontal component
will be approximately 48 feet while each half of the horizontal
component of the "T" would be about 24 feet.
Suggestions are welcomed as to which way to go before I get up on the
tower. I have a pair of marine pulleys which would eliminate the
necessity for repeated climbs.
Note: I presently have an inverted "L" which comes off the 115 ft tower
and the horizontal component goes East to the 92 ft tower. It is a cloud
warmer to EU, but fantastic to the west coast and the Pacific. It may be
due to the close proximity of the vertical portion to the tower. It
shouldn't be, but it is! I also use 4 tuned elevated radials.
