The advantage of Halves over Hi-Lo is not so slight. Here are some SCOREs for different bet spreads (6D,S17,DOA,DAS,SPA1,SPL3,NS,5/6,Catch-22 floored):
1-4 1-8 1-12 1-16 1-20
Halves 11.16 28.69 38.33 44.25 48.27
Hi-Lo 9.61 25.83 34.84 40.43 44.24
If we choose 1-12 we have that Halves is 10% better than Hi-Lo.

Yes, I think you'd have a better performance although the system would be unbalanced.
