I understand you reasoning and it's why I re-space to 120mm. If the rear stays at 126mm you have to go to shorter spindle otherwise your chainline will be off...way off. From my perspective it's less expensive and easier to re-space down to 120. Re-dishing the wheel is easy and your actually taking dish away which is good.

Now, if one has a cassette hub all you have to is remove all the rear except 1 and load the hub up with spacers in place of the cogs.
