Is mixing hard tap water with distilled water a good idea?

We have hard water (300 or more ppm) at home and use a Brita filter for filtering it. I know the Brita filter doesn't remove the minerals so technically the minerals are still int here when we drink it. The thing is, I am not sure I like drinknig very hard water so thought about getting a distiller and having like a 50/50 mix. Would the result be somewhat the same as just drinking distilled water and adding trace minerals back in? They say that distilled water is not good because it leaches minerals from your body. There is some controversy there so not really sure. Adding the minerals after distilling seems like a bit excessive to me.

what's in the hard water you're worried about?
unless you're a kettle, electric shower, washing machine or hot water cylinder, you're grand!
distilled water wont leech minerals from your body, it just doesn't have dissolved minerals you need.
