Most of the newer Arcas I see have a tiny amount of slop around the detent and their standards are not always parrallel. While I usually trust the levels and my eyeballs for field work, if I were doing something that required more precision I would use an accurate level to get both standards as square as possible.
I think this is one area where the Sinar has it over the Arca, at least the Norma or P cameras. But then you pay with bulk and weight.
No free lunches with these things...
