Netters I questiond this in a direct response because at the same angles the amount of dihedral and twist would be reduced. If changed the alngle to arive at the same point I do not what the impact would be and then there is the twist changes to worry about. I would make no change unless i was convinced by someone with a very good understanding of all at play here as there could be many less than obvious issues at play. May be fine but trespass very slowly and carefully here.
