The screw can bend easier this way with a side hit and it is very hard to pinpoint without taking the screw out. This can cause major handling issues.

Stacking shims can run into a problem because unless there is no dirt or debris on the shims and they are dead flat, The arms can sit crooked and give you alot of problems. I am just not comfortable stacking relatively thin shims like this. 2 shims at max is all i would want if i had to.
You don't say.

Oh...you DO say...three times in fact

I hear you Jason and completely agree. My scheme only has one shim in at any given time. Plus my BMI spacers.
