BL touch with dual z endstops

Hi. I was wondering if anyone has done this. I know its a little overkill but I have it and would like give it a try. Problem is that where its asking to be connected is one of the z stops i use for the dual endstop mod.

If your using bltouch then you don't need endstops.

Well, you can have enough droop on one side that the BL touch can not compensate. The reverse could be said as well, that you have the dual endstops, you do not need the BL touch. Why not have both to have the best of both worlds if possible. Just in case there is any warpage in the bed somewhere.

That was the original direction I was heading with my build (both touch and dual stops). However I have since changed directions and am working towards using a single stepper for the Z-axis. At that point I will go with just the BLTouch. I wish I was further along in my build to show you what I plan, but time has been a premium of late. Learning tons along the way, I'll get there eventually.
