Who's this McReady guy?

Anyway, Bill McCready's rationale for 160mm is what it is and has been debated to death.

As far as overkill goes, have you checked the weight of your Bontragers? 2,245 grams, last time I checked.

Santana's current Sweet 16's: 2,057 grams and Rolfs for 160mm rear spacing at 1,768 grams.

So, are the Bontrager's that you're using over built for no appreciable reason?
