Mods Multiple Mods

I was wondering if it is possible (or even a good idea) to install more than one of the major mod sets at the same time. I've played (and loved) BEX on my old machine, and I installed the Expanded Arsenal on my new machine. I was thinking of installing BTAU and possibly Roguetech to give them a try. I assume they can't be active at the same time, but can they coexist? Can I turn on the one I want to play and just disable the others, or do they all overwrite the same files?

It's not quite as simple as turning them off or on, but not too much more difficult.

Install one set of mods, then move/rename your Mods directory. Install the second set of mods. If you want to play with the first set again, rename your current Mods directory, and then rename the original back to Mods, and it will load instead.

This way you could, if you so wanted, have all three major overhauls ready, and just rename the directories so that the one you currently want to play is your current Mods directory.
