I see you are not acquainted with my pace of work and my available
time.

When I was younger and had more energy, I'd sometimes build
something out of construction lumber & plywood to see what
it looked like, and then do it over in quality wood.

Now, like you, I find I only have enthusiasm to do things
once.

That said, you could mock up just the rails both ways
and dry-fit them to see which you liked better.
