"Simplfeying the mainsheet"

As we are underway into our second season, I have now decided to tackle the rat nest of main sheet and traveler lines that we have. Currently we have a harken traveler (not a windward, leeward) that works well, but I am looking at the original schaffer 4:1 mainsheet and the added 8:1 block and tackle. I set this up per the manual, but it is been cumbersome to deal with after every tack.

So, I am sure some of you have made some changes and would like to hear your suggestions!

"I removed the fine tune and use just the 4:1 but I added a becket to the top of the mainsheet block so I dead end it there. It works fine and find that I don't need the extra purchase of the fine tune system. "

I tried it with the 4:1 system and I have no problem with it, the wife likes the 8:1 but always seems to grab the wrong line! With the becket at the top of the mainsheet, does this eliminate the need to shackle the main to the cockpit floor? If so, and the anchor point on the floor is no longer needed, I see a project to remove another toe snubber!
