Well William I have stacked these;
top -- vertical ground plain
bottom -- 2 meter quads
top -- straight ariel
bottom -- quad
top -- yagi
bottom -- another yagi
top -- yagi
bottom -- quad
Stacking is no big deal.  You will need however, and the key is, good coax 
and a great switcher.  I live at the crest of a 1010' hill, that gives line 
of site over most of the KC metro area.  That helps to begin with, but I 
mount the bottom antenna at 20' and the top at 30'.
