+1.
As I also posted earlier, asymmetrical Q factors are about as old as chain drive. Q-factor is one of those concerns that folks bring up from time to time, but has never been demonstrated to be meaningful. If it were, then who's to say what's best. If the logic is to have the feet below the hips, consider that people vary tremendously in hip width, so logic would dictate that different people would want different Q-factors, and women in general might want wider Q then men.
In the case of asymmetrical Q, which is right, the wide one or the narrow?
Either way, if it really bothers you, you can shift the cleats of cycling shoes to either side to compensate, or let nature dictate where you place your feet on the pedals if riding with street shoes.
