    Best way to replace a sewn loop

    Hi all- thanks for having me. I recently got my first hammock, and its definitely just a starter to get me into it as I convert over from a lifetime of ground based camping. I got a Klymit Traverse double that was on sale with plans to upgrade it eventually to something better/longer after I have all the rest of the necessary gear and then keep it as a loaner. My first upgrade to it is an improved suspension from the daisy chain type it came with to probably a Dutchware titanium buckle on an amsteel continuous loop type. So here is my questions-

    The current suspension is a sewn loop through the end channel with a carabiner clipped to it that clips to the daisy chain (pic below). Would it be best to cut this loop off and run the continuous loop with buckle through this channel or is it acceptable to leave the sewn loop and attach the amsteel/buckle loop directly to the existing one? If I cut the sewn loop its definitely a permanent alteration at that point and no going back to the original suspension when this one becomes a loaner. Thanks!
