I ask because I have thought about the Mirror thing, reshaping the trailing line of the mirrors to close down the wake a little bit more, so that it reaches the "apex" of the shape and begins closing, rather than continuing to open past the aft edge termination. I dunno how much it would help compared to taking the mirrors off, but it might provide an option to those who aren't comfortable without mirrors?
