yeah unless your alignment guy seriously sucks, you max out the caster and leave it alone. And small changes in caster aren't going to significantly change your corner weights.
And you're not driving a formula car. I bet most people here couldn't tell the difference between 50lbs off on cross weight.

I'm not a big advocate of corner-weighting. There is a point of diminishing returns and with production car performance - CW'ing is the one that has the least amount of benefit.
I think positioning of weight in the car has a lot more benefit to it rather than static loading of your tires. Dynamic load transfer throws everything out the window that you set up on the scales anyway

So we've come to a conclusion that in an ideal situation alignment first then CB... preferably same time is best.
is that fair to say?

I guess I'm of the opinion if your going to the trouble of doing it you might as well do it right
You can choose to corner balance any way you want.......I'm just trying to save the op from some of the pitfalls that caught me out over the years....
And, please let's not start a discussion of how to determine what your corner weights should be
