You dont  say what the heights are for the stack.   My inclination   
would be to
replace the upper th7 with the 4 el steppir, keeping the  tic ring for  
the lower
unit.

I presently have a three high stack of KT36XAs and use the WX0B Stackmatch  
with excellent results.  For rotation no need to fool with a Tic ring and  
spend big bucks. Lots of guys roll their own sidemounts with or without  swing 
arms for less than 100 bucks in parts and using a decent sized rotor  
(Tailtwister for mine).
 
At my old place I had homebrew swing arms for all mounted antennas.   They 
work fine and if set up right, can do 300+ degrees.
