I love the simplicity, the best ideas are always simple. However, I have a feeling the tap should be on the last barrel to prevent stagnation.

If you built a PVC receiver with a cross pipe and down spouts for every barrel you could do it from the top, with no additional holes, and no need to siphon. (just my 2c).

Looks great! Here's another take on the rainbarrel idea: http://www.bsntech.com/content/view/1061/301/ (not mine, just something I had bookmarked).
