i sort of do the same thing i guess. i dont actually lay down the guitar entirely, but i do sort of take time off of one style to completely immerse my self into the other.

for example, i stopped playing blues for a couple months to only work on neo-classical. nowww, i know scales, etc much better so i can do blues better.

i also lay down the electric for weeks at a time to only play acoustic, which also greatly helps your electric playing when you go back to it.
