About to get an Alignment, 2nd opinion please?

So after agonizing over different opinions I decided to pick some numbers that went along the middle of what everyone suggested. Front: -2 Camber, 5 Caster, 0 Toe Rear: -1.5

So after agonizing over different opinions I decided to pick some numbers that went along the middle of what everyone suggested.

Front: -2 Camber, 5 Caster, 0 Toe
Rear: -1.5 Camber, 1/16" total toe in (.134 degrees total toe in)

That's at least the specs I gave my alignment guy. This is what I got back as the best he could do: Alignment Printout

Transcript of what I ended up with:
Front: -1.7|-1.8 camber, 5|4.8 caster, .1|.08 degrees toe in (.18 degrees total toe in)
Rear: -1.9|-2 camber, .22|.28 degrees toe in (1/2" or .5 degrees total toe in)

Lots of excuses about not being able to get toe exactly where i want, i guess I need to do toe bolts front and back because even with SPL fuca, rear camber and rear traction arms I still somehow don't have enough adjust-ability.

Most notable is that the toe in in the rear is .5 degrees, which this calculator says is 1/2" total toe in? That's WAY too much right? That's even with .5 more negative camber than i wanted there too. My front is 3/32" in total as well when I wanted 0. This is frustrating after $1200 in SPL parts.
