TL;DR= If the Banyon is the route you want to go- I'd definitely just put on the Lynx you own before you go looking for trouble as the general consensus seems to be that the fit is acceptable. I can't recall any reports of folks springing for one (other than the desire to own one of Loco Libre's sweet quilts).
I assumed the elastic was for the head end. Is it supposed to be foot?
Without getting technical- The bridges themselves are close enough.
The big difference is up top- IE the Chameleon style dutchness vs Brandon's saddlebags and net.
I believe the original Banyon had a 40" head bar to start but that was reduced to 38" along the way to take tension off the corners so if anything it should improve the cross compatibility of the quilts.
I should point out that I own only own a Loco Libre Ridgereaper which has a shock cord adjustment at the foot end.
I haven't ever used/owned a Lynx so I don't know how similar that one's attachment system is but maybe toss a little heavy shock cord and Large cordlocks on your Banyon order just in case or for piece of mind so you're not worried about blowing anything out. They can be helpful to allow you to center the quilt up a little better as well (vs having stretch on one side only).
Dutch sells the ridgereaper too and has some good pictures of his recommended attachment method to give you an idea-

While warbonnett might not have had a chance to test the Banyon- Dutchware might have a Lynx they tested so worth an email to them too.
On my end bar bridge I definitely needed to add an additional shock cord loop to the Ridgereaper but mine has an 84" long bedspace and symmetrical 37" spreaders.
(I haven't seen the James River Bridge in person but probably a closer comparison than the asymetrical bar RR/Banyon)
The only negative thing that I noticed is that at 5'10" I do 'heel up' to the end of the Ridgereaper more noticeably so the slightly longer Banyon may have something similar if you were nitpicky about it; but probably something only you can determine in person depending on your sleep position.
I get a little gapping in the center on my end bar bridge but not enough to cause any serious CBS or enough to justify picking up another quilt and the shape of mine differs more dramatically than the Banyon vs Ridgerunner. I find putting a little more slack in the bridge helps close that up if I'm getting a chill.
