Maybe it is just me but given the cost of the Rohn 45 and Phillystran, why not 
have the same model beams on the tower? 

There was an article in the recent NCJ that talked about stacking odd or 
different yagis and to me, it was a lot of work to clean up the patterns. Make 
it easy on yourself and the performance would come with it...
