I think a better option is to mount a trap at the top and run a single 
horizontal wire for the 160 portion.  This way you wouldn't be concerned about 
the 80 meter vertical coupling into the 160 antenna, and the complexity of 
switching your feedline between two antennas.  I know of two hams who have done 
that successfully, although I have not tried it myself.
