Yep. A two piece is the way to go. My factory two piece saw 139 just last week. No vibration at any speed.

Update...I'll be going to a reputable driveshaft shop on friday to talk with the owner about some driveshaft theory. We're going to figure out center bearing carrier placement on all axes, front/back, side/side, up/down. Also, ratio between front shaft length and rear shaft length, difference in angle between transmission output shaft and pinion, angles of deflection off of the tranny output shaft and onto the rear half of the driveshaft, etc. I'll be doing a writeup along side the 80e swap. Sometimes ya gotta get down and dirty with some math in order to do something right Will update...

Nope, just people looking for a healthier money tree for this wallet-draining hobby.

But the stuff you break is more and more expensive.
