I am sorry I seem to be on a cynical bent this evening and somehow I think you might actually use it 4 times, so the cost may seem less.
Though to me you idea seems logical presuming there are no issues with clearances. For what it is worth I will link to a lesser known site a decent article on the same that I have archived for future reference. Doesn't sound like you need the info, but just in case.
