That's my approach, too. Specs are nice, but just like guitars, all that matters is how it sounds in the end. There are just too many variables, so it's better not to get too carried away with some technical details - moving your picking hand an inch on the guitar changes everything, where you sit in the room can change things, on and on.
BTW, K&G, you mention you hold the guitar differently, and I recorded a guy some years ago who held his guitar like I think you're describing. The common mic setups didn't work well for him, at least, and I ended up doing the often recommended approach of listening in headphones while moving the mics around, and came up with something we thought sounded really good, but that was unique to his guitar orientation. You might enlist a friend and try that.
