[pstricks] Questions about pst-node

Hi all,

I use pst-node to draw the following diagram. I have some questions:

1) Why is the "Wide Gray Common Box 1" not well centered on the central
arrow?

2) Is there a way to draw the top and bottom horizontal arrows without
having to specify the 2cm offsets?

3) Is there a better way to draw the gray frame?

Thanks!
