I've decided to switch to the blend because I have talked to a few bar owners that run a blend over Co2. I'm told they get a smoother poor with the blend, are able to poor a larger variety of beers with a more consistant poor (not as much foam) and can get more kegs off of a single tank. I have an American tap and a slide, I plan to get others so that I can add a second keg to my system. This way I can have a choice of what pint I want and enable my self to be able to get a larger variety of beers. I haven't decided yet if when I set up the second keg, on the system, if I will have to swap out the taps or just add them to the system with shut off valves so gas doesn't escape. Where the later is more convinent, you are now talking about running 2 or 3 taps into one faucet. With out adding a shut off valve to each beer line I 'm not sure you could prevent a back flow to the other taps.

You're going to end up with flat beer. Beer gas doesn't have enough co2 in it to maintain the beer's natural carbonation leve. It's %25 co2. You're only supplying the beer 1/4 of the co2 it needs to remain carbonated. That's like taking 100% co2 to a beer and running it at 4PSI.
