The metrics at frets.com are rules of thumb. There's a bit of wiggle room in terms of neck angle, bridge height, saddle height, etc. Ultimately it comes down to whether or not you're able to get the action you want and the tone you want.

Larrivee and Martin both will use different bridge heights to match the neck angle of the guitar. I imagine it's a fairly common practice.
