12 feet works nicely for me (TH11DX instead of KT34XA, though).  I
would also suggest you strengthen your 40-2CD according to Leeson's
specs if you haven't already.  If for no other reason than he asserts
that the boom braces aren't required with the strengthened boom.

Leeson's article is available online at http://www.qsl.net/w6old/402cd.html
