Maybe it is just me but given the cost of the Rohn 45 and Phillystran, why not have the same model beams on the tower? 

There was an article in the recent NCJ that talked about stacking odd or different yagis and to me, it was a lot of work to clean up the patterns. Make it easy on yourself and the performance would come with it...
