[Antennas] Antenna help

[John]

Help!

I am about to do some major antenna work.  I have the following
antennas:
1.	MFJ 1796 40M - 2M VERTICAL @ 12' (need to replace cut coax)
2.	160M G5RV @ 40'
3.	MFJ 1798 80M - 2M VERTICAL (UNASSEMBLED)

I am considering the following purchases:
1	Array solutions http://www.dxengineering.com/, 
		a.	43 Foot 160 to 10 Meter Multiband Vertical
Antenna - DXE-MBVE-1, see
http://www.dxengineering.com/Parts.asp?ID=2230&PLID=275&SecID=113&DeptID
=22&PartNo=DXE-MBVE-1  for more details.
		b.	Tilt mount, balun, and verticals for the above
antenna
2	GAP	http://www.gapantenna.com/ , GAP - Quick-Tilt Mounts
<http://www.gapantenna.com/qt_test.htm> 

Finished system as follows
		1.	MFJ 1796 @ 12' on a GAP or Array Solutions tilt
over base
		2.	MFJ 1798 @ 12' on a GAP or Array Solutions tilt
over base
		3.	Array solutions DXE-MBVE-1 at ground level with
vertical's, buried, and the G5RV on top of this antenna, a piece of
plastic separating the antennas.
		4.	New coax for all antennas, coax currently over 8
years old.
		5.	In the next five years, a 30'-40' tower with a
tri-band beam.

I have a very limited back yard 100' wide and 30' deep with a garage and
a shed.

I have a couple of questions:
1.	Has anyone ever used the Array Solutuions Vertical antenna?
2.	Has anyone ever used the GAP or the Array Solutions tiolt ober
mounts?
3.	Which tilt over base is a better selection: GAP or Array
Solutions?
4.	Any suggestions or recommendations on what I am planning to do?
5.	What should I do to make the antenna system better?

Thanks in advance.
