Is this better?

I think conceptually it will work, but I'm not sure the switch-point is well defined. You don't want it to switch unnecessary.
What is the threshold voltage of that bidirectional thing?
There's also the real chance that one rail fuse blows before the other, and you end up with one rail active and that's probably worse than the offset.
If you do it this way, use two triac one for each rail to gnd.
