There are other reasons for using I beams besides saving space.  For
example, if the tower is in a field that is farmed and the tractors have to
get under the guys.

>From Ron's email, it sounds like he's trying to avoid water lines and power
lines (presumably underground)

If you have the room for a back guy why do you need a I beam?
The beam should be the height that is calculated the guy wire would be at 
in a full length run.

For a 100' of 45G and not insanely overloaded then guy points at 65-75' 
would be sufficient.
