Quick Repeated Alternating Chords

I've been working on Bartok's Allegro Barbaro for a while (fun piece!) and I have difficulty playing the repeated alternating chords cleanly in measures 199 to 206.  At the moment, I'm just keeping fingerings of 1-2-5 for each cord, but I often miss the middle note when I switch chords. Is there a better fingering for this?

You could consider switching between 3 and 2.
Try taking the B-sharp with 3 in the octaves on E-sharp, and use 2 in the octaves on F-double-sharp.

I like it, thanks! Now it's much cleaner...but also much slower! Practicing time for me!
