I guess my idea just isn't sexy enough for knot nuts!

What a great video! I watched it from start to finish. It's definitely the first time I've seen anyone hang the WS AND the SRL BEFORE the hammock
I will definitely be grabbing some spare 550 cord to practice this. It does look very easy. I imagine I'll be doing this very soon, probably after I get my SRL

Brainstorming here... do they make cordlocks big enough for amsteel? If so, unless I'm missing something you could just put one over the end of the whoopie, and snug it up against the msh.
Personally I use carabiners instead of toggles; might be a little heavier than a toggle, but IMO they're much more versatile/useful and I feel more secure with them!
I was just at Walmart today looking (unsuccessfully) for snap type grommets and saw a few cord locks. They looked large enough to me.

So my original idea was that complicated that everyone is making whipping knots and buying cord locks? It seemed so simple and cheap to me. Oh well.
I use prussic knots on my whoopies and just slide it up the line to the marlin spike knot. Seems to work alright.

"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn." — John Muir
