That's awesome looking!  I'm curious on which side you preferred.  That was an interesting idea you came up with to try.

The results were interesting,--- I really couldn't tell much difference in one side or the other.  I now wonder if some translocation accross the breast cartilage is possible?  Nevertheless, the meat was very tasty, moist and tender.   I think a faster cook at a higher temp might give some improvement.  That is certainly possible with the SRG as other members have demonstrated.
