I plan to do a similar thing on 80m, though probably with
double L antennas (vertical dipoles with the ends running
horizontally).

An array of 3 or 4 of those looks like it can outperform
a single vertical with a good ground system (which I do
not have space for), and give some directivity, for better
reception.
