I'm no expert, my 1 cent.

When I redid my top end I spent way too many hours using the Stomski tool and straight edge/etc. along with a spreadsheet to measure what shims I should reinstall. After all that the shims originally installed were correct.

I've often wondered is +/- 0.003"? over a distance of say ~1 foot really going to make any difference? And it is on the tension side, the slack (feeding) side is not constrained very well as is comes off the "floating" tensioner arm. Seems like the feed side would be the important one.
