Topband: Antenna Help

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!
