Yoyo,
I do not consider this dance and Boys from Urbana variations of the same
dance. I would have no trouble calling this dance to start off an evening,
but Urbana is much more difficult.
Where are your concerns with timing and flow? The only difference I see is
that there are 8 beats available for the zig/zag versus 4 beats in Urbana.
That is a plus early in an evening.

This looks like a variation of the Boys from Urbana by John Coffman. I
think the timing and flow in the original works better.
