Warthog Adaptor, cams, springs and some questions

Installed the warthog adaptor yesterday evening (inevitably the circlip from the pinky lever went flying and it took me 20 minutes of floor crawling to find it and when I put the shell back together, I managed to clip one of the wires so out came the soldering iron . That said, other than my incompetence, the adaptor was pretty easy to install so well done VKB) and now tonight I'll be trying to get the right spring/cam config.
I installed the W cam but even with that in, with the #20 springs installed the Warthog grip is leaning forwards quite a lot. So, to counter this I ended up with a #40 and a #20 spring. I've got #40 and #20 on both axes
My first question: Do I need to worry about the fact that the warthog grip leans forward when used with just the default #20 spring. Does the W cam mean that the lean forward is allowed for in terms of the range of movement (and thus the centre point) Other than the lean, it felt really good. With the #40 and #20 springs, it feels a bit too tight. Also on the X axis there's creaking from the springs (maybe having 2 #30's rather than a #20 and a #40 on each cam would be better?)
Second question: would it be terrible to have a lighter spring on the x axis than on the y axis? I know it's all about what's good for you, but is having different tensions on each axis generally not a good idea or does it not matter.
I'm going to be trying to get this right tonight so any help would be much appreciated.
TIA!
