The added benefit of this is the biner provides a rain break on the suspension line. In the setup you described, you would need to larks head the continuous loop to the tree strap, then connect the loop to the larks headed whoopie using the biner. Of course, doing so removes the option of a short(er) hang as discussed in other threads.
That said, if short hangs are a concern then a MSH or Dutch Buckle are probably more appropriate for tree attachment, along w/ a continuous loop on the hammock.
