Right you are Mike!  This would be a very simple way to toggle between
diversity on DX and split for the pileup.  Just tried it on FW5RE on 160 and
it works great.  The only potential problem is if you don't *hold* the A/B
key for B SET, you'll exchange VFOs A and B.  This may be easier than
holding REV for some (which is how I do split in diversity now).

Thanks for the tip!
