Trampoline idea

Almost time to renew my trampoline again. Wanted to get opinions on changing the layout for my 32.
Currently have the two piece tramps that have a bolt rope on two sides and are laced to the front beam and to each other. That leaves a bit of a gap right down the center. Has anyone tried a one peice tramp laced to the front and both sides white a bolt rope on the aft end?

Any thoughts on weather or not it’s a good idea?

If the gap is a problem, have them make a narrow strip with grommets and lace it in the gap, using the center lacing (it can be much lighter material). This common practice on some designs, including the Stiletto 27. I think this is the simpler and safer solution. I don't like having lacing where I might step, and the edges are more of a problem that way.

Yup, I've lost a few things through the laces.

On an Island Spirit cat I had, the tramp was laced into mainsail slides that went into what were essentially mast tracks bolted on. I don't know if that would work on the 32.
