I thought my distances were good, but I was not expecting a miracle with the channel levels, thus this is why I used my SPL meter.
Would you suggest for me to tweak a lot of my settings by ear at this time or to rely on MCACC for its flat response and only change a few settings? And if so, what settings would you not change that were set by MCACC?

Fors,
I would say that MCACC does the right thing 99% of the time. For most everyone, it's a just a matter to "set it and forget it."
I wouldn't change the standing wave correction. if anything. It would be futile at best to try to figure out which specific frequencies are acoustically problematic by simply listening to pink or white noise with your ears (although I wouldn't doubt there are a few talented people with enough experience who could).
I prefer a slightly "brighter" treble-range sound, but only a few dB in that direction. I like the enhanced presence that sound shape brings, and I also like a little more overall presence on the surrounds. I have played with the surround levels the most, and I have recently settled on what I feel is the perfect balance for my tastes.
