Side-by-side dual scope mopunting on EQ6

In order to avoid too much re-arranging when I want to use different scopes on my EQ6, I was thinking about parallel mounting of all 3 of them (C11, Rubinar 10/1000, Canon 400 f/2.8).
To reduce mount load, I want to replace some counterweights with scopes.. Canon is 5.5kg, Rubinar 2.7.. so some more weight should be added at the shaft or Rubinar should be mounted further away from shaft for proper balance.
Did anybody tried something like that?

Of course, collision with pier could be an issue, but I am trying to be careful with that anyway, my mount is not fully automated.
