My advice to you is...your zeal is admirable, but in my opinion, the sacrifice you make to either is not compensated. What I mean is, I love a guitar player, and a harmonica player... I should, I am both. But when you play them both together, you lose a little of the energy you put into the guitar, and you sacrifice alot of control and effect for the harp by using a rack... The result does not compensate for the lack of energy that should have been put into the instruments individually, doesn't matter how good a musician you are.
Maybe the case is different with you, you could be the next virtuoso, but if you want advice as you so claim, then I would say to practice both, but play one at a time, honestly... I hope that helps...
