How to make this shape without seams?

I'm trying to loft between two of the profiles in the image below, with the third arc being the rail.

The result looks like this

I mirrored this to get this result

How can I get rid of the edge/seam in the center, so that it's a smooth transition between the mirrored halves?

 

I also tried to use sweep/split body instead of loft. I get this shape with no seams

But you can see here the shape isn't exactly right

I've attached both files.

Mirroring fit point splines is a bad idea!

After editing one side, often the symmetry is lost.
