Your idea and Frank's are different. I think yours may be more economical of
parts. To be even MORE economical on the 1x2 with center top stud part which
is a somewhat hard to come by part, consider plugging in 1xn plates into the
center tubes of the 2xn plates above them to make the part of the hold down
that runs longitudinally. While that does mean you have 1/2 stud gaps in the
longitudinal direction I think that's OK.
