Well...theoretically if you wanted a true crown, wouldn't the key squaring also need to be taken under consideration? For a true crown the keys would have to be square in the middle and then gradually lean as you move towards the ends. If you started with a level and square keyboard, and then shimmed the rail, this would happen naturally. Sure it would add a step, but it would only take about 5 minutes to execute it.
