I just got home from my LBS with my new Sidi Bullet Megas and Shimano PD-M424 pedals. The bike store owner set the cleat position by clipping the shoes onto the pedals and eyeballing them. He told me I may want to make some adjustments later on after riding some.

I was thinking of the same plan as you: leaving them loose then tightening them up after my foot finds a comfortable angle. Problem is, you have to twist your foot to unclip, so that plan is no good at all!

Good riding,
