Well the source of power will exist regardless of how it gets to the 
Poly800.  You could acheive the same physical versatility of a single 
cord going to the Poly800 by simply taping or using wire-ties to run 
the power line against and parallel to the MIDI cable.

I'm sure it works I just think it's over-engineered.  But there are no 
potential technical problems with it, contrary to what I stated 
previously.
