I have exactly that with two reversible Beverages using DXE hardware and 
400 ohm window line. They work. One is 550 ft, the other 500 ft. They 
both run close to sloping verticals suspended from my 120 ft tower. If 
you can do 500 ft, DO it! They might work better if I detuned the 
antennas and the tower. Too many other irons in the fire to try it.
