I admit to preferring a mount height low enough to accommodate a solid cheek weld on the stock. Increased mounting heights result in a jawbone or masseter muscle weld. In my experience a cheek weld is more comfortable and consistent. While adding a stock pack helps, I prefer not having one on a sporter, lightweight or otherwise. There’s definitely more than one way to skin this cat.
My experience is that different people's faces fit riflestocks differently, and each person needs to find a cheek weld that is solid and repeatable. My ideal cheekweld may be slightly higher than yours, but a lack of parallax or POI problems, in addition to being able to acquire the desired POA very quickly when mounting a rifle, regardless of scope used, indicates that my cheek weld works for me, as I'm betting yours works for you.
Honestly, I'm not one of those people that finds cheek weld height to be super critical.
