Errhh... I was talking about passing multiple file names to a single sed invocation; that looks like some complex code that spawns a shell which runs cat, echo & sed for each file - but then, if you're processing each file separately (that is, one sed per file) you can simply do -exec sed -e 'blah-blah' -e '$a\\' {} \; (which is exactly what OP does but with a single gnu sed invocation)

@don_crissti I added a possiblity with xargs for many files.
