By way of a purely information-gathering question, as opposed to some smart-

Using this 1G acceleration, rather than having some last minute braking once
you get to Mars, could you (or would you want to) start decelerating once
you're about halfway there?  Since I can't count to 21 without taking my
clothes off, I'll also ask how this deceleration would affect the projected 24-
48 hour travel time.
Thanks for the info!

Yes, that was (assumed? implied? you choose) in the question.  See Todd's
