Thinking about a simple 30-160 meter vertical system with minimal compromises:

60 foot tapered aluminum 1/4 wave in 80, plus,

Run two 1/4 wave wires from the base to standoffs mounted at the appropriate 
heights, plus ,

Another wire from the base to the top with a standoff mounted there and three 
top hat wires which double as guys (not connected electrically to the top of 
the 60 foot vertical ).

All four "antennas" will either be tied together and fed at the base (against 
an appropriate radial field) or switched in one at a time via a remote coax 
switch.

Any reason this would not work as well as any of the verticals would if 
installed separately?

Any thoughts welcome!
