I don't think I said what I was thinking. I should have said I'd INcrease the incidence at the root in order to reduce the nose-up tendency at high altitude. What you are proposing would actually improve this nose up tendency (although that's not why you're planning the change), but the stall characteristics will suffer. That was my point.
