I believe that this is a balanced, symmetric, beautiful solution... and a knot that deserves to be called " Zeppelin loop ", indeed... because the other ugly "thing" you had mentioned, does not !
( Alan Lee has tied and presented, in this Forum, some other loops, inspired by the Zeppelin bend.)
Now you have tied it and enjoyed, I suggest that you better not tie it again, on a line with many loops !
Any TIB loop would be much easier to tie, and I suppose that, even if it will not be so beautiful, it will do this job - behind the cutains ...
