I tried to keep the math as simple as possible, and only went through it to support the conclusion that the difference was less than 1/2 degree.

But in all fairness, the only hard thing is knowing that there's an easy way to convert a drop of 7mm over 38" (the wheel base) to an angle change. That's just simple trig, and knowing that there are sites that do it for you.
