Default G5RV Too Short for 80 Meters ?

I've looked at some commercial "full size" G5RV's and the leg lengths
are about 51 feet long each, that seems a tad short for 80 meters.
Would I experience quite a bit of loss in the tuner ( External ) Or
maybe I should try and erect a dipole with leg lengths as long as I
can and feed it with 450 Ohm Ladder line or 300 Ohm twinlead and be
able to operate on 30 meters ? I understand the G5RV doesn't work too
well for 30 meters, and I need some place to operate during contests.
My primary bands of interests are 80 thru 20 CW.

Thanks in advance.
