Since arms aren't perfectly symmetric, even with the broomstick I would have to make micro adjustments.
I agree. I use the broomstick method when setting up other peoples bicycles, because it's a very quick way to eyeball symmetry reasonably closely. As far as I'm concerned any effort to get it more precise reflects a degree of obsessiveness that seems to have become trendy.
As I said in post No.3 our arms aren't that perfectly matched anyway.
