go one size down on my main jets, put 2 shims on my needles
To me, that is effectively the same as you have now mostly because of the taper of the stock needles (Ed's spreadsheet above does not mention TBS for you so I assume stock needles).
What did you go down to, 155s?
I don't pretend to know a whole lot about how exactly the carbs work so if I'm way off base maybe someone like pat or bucky can back me up but from my understanding you're correct, it the same, or close to. If you look at my dyno sheet the air fuel mixture runs pretty much straight on the line but it starts high (leaning the mixture screws solved that) than it dips lean and runs back to the high side in the upper RPM range. By putting the shims on the needles it brings the entire line up and straightens it after the idle circut fixing the lean dip in the middle. Going down on the main jets brings the straightened line back down to the correct setting giving me a straight line all the way across the RPM range. Also since the mixture is straight all the way through the RPM range it fixes the fluxuations in the torque curve where the lean dip was. And again, thats just my understanding of how it works and I could be off base so if I'm wrong could someone smarter than me back me up 
Let my dying thought be that every mile was fun and let my tombstone read,"They never made one fast enough for me."
