Skin-on-Frame: Toggle or handle? *PIC*

Using a 3/4" dowel I was beginning to shape a couple of pieces into toggles when it occurred to me that the toggles would beat the fabric while traveling on the hiway. So, I scrapped that idea and made a couple of handles from some pecan that I had on hand. What are the pros and cons of handles vs toggles? What do ya'll think?
