Why not put up a Windom, which is an off-center fed dipole?  It does require
a 4:1 balun, but it is coax fed and works very well on both odd and even
harmonics. I use two 40 meter Windoms, crossed for complementary coverage
and fed separately.  They work well on all bands (even 80 in a pinch) except
30 meters where they are a beast to load.  Much simpler than multiple
dipoles with a common feed.
