Long Island Iced Tea

So, I found this, as the original recipe for a Long Island Iced Tea. This was posted by the guy who invented the drink.

1 part vodka
1 part gin
1 part white rum
1 part white tequila
1/2 part triple sec
1/2 part sweet & sour mix
1 splash Coke
Lemon wedges for garnish

I know I can alter this however I want. I'm just curious what your thoughts are to this:

I don't really care for Vodka. It's a neutral spirit anyway, with little flavor on it's own. Gin is a neutral spirit, that is distilled with juniper and other botanicals. At heart, two similar alcohols. I'm a big fan of gin. So my idea is to eliminate the Vodka, and just make it two parts gin. Will it affect the drink much? What say you?
