Default Alignment question

I just had my 2001 LS430 with 120,000 miles aligned. It was aligned 3,000 miles ago but I had front struts installed 1,000 miles ago and thought it would be a good idea to do again. My concern is the read out for the rear toe specs. (The front readings are dead on with -0.3 Camber and .05 toe on both sides) The rear readings are Left Toe 0.21 Camber -1.5 and Right Toe 0.12 Camber-1.7 As you can see the difference in the left and right rear toe is .09 (almost .1) Should both sides be as close as possible? Although these settings are within range Of 0.05 and 0.25 is .09 enough of a difference to cause tire wear?? Thanks for your help.

Just came back from Lexus and showed the shop foreman my read out. He told me there is so much room between the allowable settings for the toe of 0.05 and 0.25 that a difference of .09 is negligible and won't matter as far as tire wear. I guess I'm very **** and always like things that are in synch.
