[TowerTalk] Good guys or bad guys?

As I contemplate erecting a long stick of 25G I find myself with a plethora
of 2100 lb. phillystran. I'm not excited about purchasing a bunch of 4000
lb. stuff if I can get around it and still feel good (safe) about it. I
wonder if anyone may have experience or advice on using the 2100 lb. philly.
In perusing the Rohn catalog I am intrigued by the idea of using the TA25
'torque arm stabilizer assy' instead of the conventional GA25GD guy
brackets.

The TA25's would allow two guys at a shallow horizontal angle coming down to
each ground anchor point. Do you think I could use the 2100# cable if I have
two of them to each anchor? That would be a total of six guys per tower guy
point.

Anybody out there done this with 2100 lb. phillystran?

Safety first,
