Should be no problem to replace one vertical with another, regardless
of 'shape'. You might have to tweak the phasing to get it exactly the
same, as there is no guarantee that both verticals will have the same
feedpoint impedance.
As for using the Hy-Tower for 80m in the same arrangement ... you
might need to remotely disconnect the phasing to get a good match on
80m.
I am using a home-brew insulated tower for 80m and actually have two
up, but not yet phased. Will be remotely switching the phasing when I
get the third one up.

Quoting WW3S <ww3s@zoominternet.net>:
I currently have a 2 element 40m phased array, Christman fed, using
2 modified Butternuts as elements....I recently aquired a Hygain
Hytower, but due to small lot size, am running out of space.....I
was thinking of using the Hytower in place of one of the current 40m
verticals, and using it both as part of the array, and also
freestanding on 80m......any thoughts/ideas/suggestions?
