Default JSF/Typhoon combination good?

Hi All

In an almost futile effort to get some aviation related stuff back on
RAM.....Here goes...

Both Italy and the UK are planning to use both the JSF and the
Eurofighter, AIUI the thinking behind this is that the Eurofighter
Typhoon is more AtoA and the JSF F-35 is more AtoG, having two types
does cost more, but does give more strike options, plus single fault
will ground your entire airforce!!!, and you can't be held to ransom
from a sole supplier.

Turkey from recent speculation may look at this model as the
JSF/Typhoon mix looks like a pretty fair combination, the Typhoon now
and the JSF in the middle of the next decade.

The JSF is still very much in development and as such, its capabilitys
are still being balanced with cost, the real question being should any
airforce just go with one aircraft type?

Should those already signed up for the JSF look at this force model,
or if not, Why?, or what other combinations should prospective buyers
look at?.

Any one got any really novel combinations? for instance the Skycat
200 and a squadron of jets, as a sort of aerial carrier, I can see
several advantages, as well as a couple of potential show stoppers.

Cheers
