I concur. Maybe there is some threshold where Q factor becomes important, but within the range of most road bikes, doubles and triples, I never noticed a difference I couldn't get used to. I just set the cleats so my feet are pointing comfortably straight ahead and everything (barely) clears the cranks and chainstays. Make sure to allow for winter booties.
