I started the project before posting about it here. I had a picture in my head of what I wanted, based on a couple of factors. The main factor is experience. The other is cost.
I know how to work with the materials I'm using already. I had a lot of the bits that would be needed to make the project work as well as control the cost. I had all the tools I needed to build it this way. I knew the sources of all my materials and could plan for the budget.
As with all things engineering, there are always more elegant solutions for problems.... but in this case, experience and function over form won.
Perhaps for a smaller project down the road (such as a small aero trailer I want to build) I'll go for your solution. Especially once I've gained some experience working with the material on my aero corners.
