Racking strategy for 8-ball?

Forgive me if I've asked this before. We all know the requirements for a legal 8-ball rack under world-standardized (WPA, BCA, ACS, etc.) rules. 8 ball goes in the center and the back two corners must have one stripe and one solid. All other balls at random. My question is this. Have you ever tried putting all of the stripes on one side and all of the solids on the other? I have tried this a little bit lately and I've found that it has slightly increased my chances of having a runable rack, particularly on a bar table. Now, stripes and solids still end up on both sides of the table but it seems that when I rack this way, the balls that would block my routes to the pockets tend to be of the same suit, therefore they're not actually blockers. I would say racking this way has increased my break and run percentage by about 5-10%. Again, this is just someting I've briefly experimented with on one Valley bar table. I start playing in a rack-your-own league in a couple of weeks and I wondering how this would go over. It's perfectly legal, I just wonder if any of you had tried this and what results if any you have noticed.
