Thx for the comments. I considered a few options (and may change it next time I get aligned). I'm stuck with what I get for the rear camber (unless I want new LCAs) and I'm ok burning tires a bit quicker.
I based my front toe on the alignment guy, and tirerack. Also, it's only .1 of a degree, which isn't going to shred tires like 1 degree would. Under load I probably end up slight toe-out anyway. Based on feel, it's sharp as hell now.

Tire-Rack: A rear-wheel drive vehicle "pushes" the front axle's tires as they roll along the road. Tire rolling resistance causes a little drag resulting in rearward movement of the suspension arms against their bushings. Because of this, most rear-wheel drive vehicles use some positive toe-in to compensate for the movement, enabling the tires to run parallel to each other at speed.
Conversely, a front-wheel drive vehicle "pulls" the vehicle through the front axle, resulting in forward movement of the suspension arms against their bushings. Therefore most front-wheel drive vehicles use some negative toe-out to compensate for the movement, again enabling the tires to run parallel to each other at speed.
Toe can also be used to alter a vehicle's handling traits. Increased toe-in will typically result in reduced oversteer, help steady the car and enhance high-speed stability. Increased toe-out will typically result in reduced understeer, helping free up the car, especially during initial turn-in while entering a corner.
