Sounds like a good idea to me, but try to get 9-11' spacing between them.
The most sensible way to do this, tho much more expensive, is a Ring
Rotor.  Second choice:  a side mount for the lower one.  If a side mount,
which limits rotation, put the 40 on the side mount, because the
beamwidth is so much wider that you'll be able to work your "dead spot"
azimuth anyway.
