Anyone try this baffle tweak?

Doing lots of make ready for my HF upgrade when it arrives.   I've read and watched so many posts and videos and seen several different designs -- many of which seem to have the baffle positioned in different locations relative to the intake port.  I know there is a prescribed place to position the baffle such that the baffle work correctly, but I'm wondering if anyone has tried just doing a full disc that is 1 1/8 smaller in radius than the bottom piece -- basically the drop slot going all the way around (a smaller full concentric disc) that would be held in place by the threaded rods? Did it work? Any problems?

the purpose of the solid part of the slot is to break up the airflow above and below  the baffle. if the was a slot all th way round the air below would increase in speed and keep blowing the dust back into the air where it could be sucked up the outlet,

something i meant to try was having a second baffle   and see would that reduce air flow more
