That's the way I built mine. It's all or nothing and all three are controlled with one switch.
It's enought for me, although 100% reverse is not used 100% of the time. There is the real danger of the engine ingesting foreign objects at high reverse settings. Especially for wing mounted engines.
It was tight enough in my throttle housing for five pots, let alone another three for independent adjustable reverse thrust.
The reverser unlocked and reverser lights come on, and it makes a heck of a noise. I like it and it works.Boeing Skunk Works

You might change your mind after you see the digital radio heads installed!
Although many 727's were retro-fitted with the newest Collins heads, it will take some getting used to seeing those in the control stand.Boeing Skunk Works
