Default Neck angle question

Hello everyone, I just picked up a d35 and it sounds incredible. The action was pretty high when I got it, and I’ve sanded down the saddle a bit to get it lower and it’s sitting a bit lower than I’d like. This is a 2016 model so I’m hoping it’s not a neck angle issue, but from what I can tell it has the shallowest angle of all of my guitars. I tried the straight edge trick and it’s sitting a bit below the top of the bridge, but that’s very difficult to photograph, so here are some measurements.





Perhaps I’m just being paranoid because of all the talk of underset Martin neck angles recently, especially since I bought it used. I have a 00018 that also has a relatively shallow neck angle, but it has a bit more saddle than this one. Should I be worried?
