Daft?  Not at all.  When you maintain the same shift and lower the
tones, the percentage separation between them becomes larger and more
distinguishable.

As you indicated, a person should be careful not to overdrive the audio
stages in the transmitter because harmonics of the lower audio frequency
may still be within the passband of the rig.  Using frequencies near the
upper end of the passband reduces this possibility.
