In your post you mention that the ground crew releases the SRT once you have reached the top and then you pull the end of the rope up and recrotch and tie in using double rope technique (DbRT). I'm a little confused (not hard for me)!! Are you using ascenders on doubled rope (bite over a limb), or are you using a dynamic rope system,with the working end tied to a caribiner attached your saddle and a friction hitch on the tail or split-tail to the running end of the rope? We all have some different techniques up our sleeves, this sounds interesting to me. I'm all for saving energy!
