Dan,
Though this does equalize some what, I found that all the biners and 2 runners created quite a bit of friction while reorientating the power point. Try it. As you slide the weighted power point along its arch, feel the tension on the outer left strand as you move it left, and you'll find that the tension in that strand is quite loose as compared to the other strands. Same goes with weighting it and moving it in the other direction with respect for the right strand.
This really is a simple design and the extra biners aren't that big a deal to me, making this another possibility to file along with the rest. Never hurts to know.
Small detail; when you exclaim "done"in your setup, you've actually got one more step which is to clip in your tie in loop to the power point. You also then need one more additional biner for the belay device itself.
