[TowerTalk] Stacking of Quads

After some days of simulating 4 ele 5 band Quads it came into my mind to try
a stacked array of two 2 ele 5 band Quads with vertical center distance of
24 ft (what could fit to my tower).
First results are encouraging as the influence between the bands are
minimized and a longer boom could be used easily. The array seems to have
better bandwidth but slightly lower f/b. Of course 24 ft stacking for 20m is
to small, but a compromise.
Is there any experience out there or any comments?
