Travis,
Ray, much stronger design. Your stress now is at the bolt hole, but that shouldn't be an issue at all with steel. Like Travis mentioned, there doesn't appear to be any kind of significant load across the plane of the bracket. There's no "lever" now from a stress standpoint.
Travis, from a cost, time, etc effort, two pieces, welded "top and bottom" on the red?
