[Towertalk] guying tolerance

As I try to lay out possible guy anchor locations,I wonder, exactly how
much "leeway" do I have for

The angle with respect to each other? (nominal 120 degrees)

The distance between anchors and tower? (nominal 80%)

I mean, theoretically, I can get away with a steeper guying angle by
using stronger guys and supports, right? And if the angles were
110-130-120 instead, what's the harm?
