Help Gmail From Address Workaround

I currently have 4 GMail accounts syncing and to alleviate the inability to select a FROM address when Sharing, I was curious if the following workaround would be taxing on the battery:

* Set up an HTC Mail IMAP account for each of the four GMail accounts
* Set each of those four to manual sync
* When Sharing, select Mail app
* Select appropriate email to send from

Does this seem like a viable approach to choosing where to send email from, without increasing battery consumption, and still allowing push email through the gmail application?
