I think you'll find that range can be adjusted adequately by varying roller speed, which is much easier than angling the whole roller assembly. This is the conclusion we reached in 2006 and it seems to hold true based on our testing so far this year. Forgo the effort and mass of angle adjustment and apply it somewhere else where you may see a better return on investment.
