while I'm sure many will disagree, I see no issues with what you describe, in fact I've been setting up my guitars that way for ages. this does result in a different intonated saddle, but it does 'solve' the issue of being heavy handed. IMO it really comes down to setting up an instrument for a particular player as opposed to some mathematically perfect scenario where it JUST MUST be that way or else (and yeah, I've dealt with a tech or 2 who were that way)
