I will run your "BAD idea" by my HVAC tutor and let you know what he says.

I am currently running my heat pump during the winter anyway, has to, as that is the primary system on my house. Even in sub 20 degree weather it still creates heat, although the emergency heat strip comes on as needed. If I can eliminate the e-heat strip from coming on, thats a bonus.
Let me know what your HVAC guru thinks.
