MPPT VE-Direct and/or VE-Can

Hi,

I'm currently planing on switching my System to a DC-coupled PV, using MPPTs.
Due to the physical layout of the panels, it comes down to 4 bigger MPPTs - and 2 Panels
left over :-(

So, adding a MPPT 100 | 20-TR would be required. However that tiny tracker only ships with VE-Direct rather than VE-Can. Is it possible to use these in parallel? Are there any configuration drawbacks when doing so? (I.e. "When using one non-ve-can device, function XY cannot be used across all mppts")

Total setup would be the following, in case that makes a difference:

MPPT 100 | 20-TR ???
MPPT 150 | 70-TR VE.CAN
MPPT 250 | 70-TR VE.CAN
MPPT 250 | 70-TR VE.CAN
MPPT 250 | 85-TR VE.CAN

@dognose How they are connected / communicate will make no actual difference in the operation of the MPPTs within the overall system. It will be fine to combine them.
