Combine Tape and USB drive for Backups

Does anyone have a good reason why I couldn't use a USB drive for full backups and tape for differential/incremental?

I know lots of you hate tapes but that isn't a good reason especially when I get very little problems with tape.

Background is we already have LTO5 but the backup window and capacity is running out so I thought I could do a full backup to a USB drive on a Friday night and the other week days use the tapes for the short backups. This would be via backup exec if it makes a difference and its probably only for a reasonably short term until we work out if we are going cloud based or not.
