I think it probably overbalances it too far the other way, but that of course is a function of what in-game effect one thinks is correct/wants to achieve.
At any rate, the two ('affinityness' and thus improvisation mods on the one had, and 'width' on the other) are in principle separable, though Benedict's page/article on widths in general pretty covers that, anway...
