I just did exactly what (I think) you posted. I like, so far with my budding knowledge of suspensions, the Tri-Glides & straps on tree. But with Tri-glides, do you need the whoopies? Can adjust with Tri-glides only.
I appreciate the Tri-glides for what they are, and quickly changed to using them only--fixed in the channel of the ENO, and Tri-glide buckle on strap around tree. One advantage: everything stays on the hammock, one strap on each end, period. I really don;t find the weight of a strap-only/Triglide system bad at all. (for those that don't know them, tri-glides at 6:55 min in this video by Grizz):

But, I think, in the end, a hitch system that I seem to be gravitating toward for my Hennessy with manufacturer's fixed ridge line, specifically a DOUBLE MARLIN SPIKE HITCH: a Marlin spike hitch on the rope plus a MSHitch on the strap. Grizz again shows us--

I've not tried it yet, though.
