Bi-Amping - Nordost / Straightwire cable runs

Guys,

I've just bought a Arcam FMJ P7 power amp to add some beef to my home cinema but primarily to improve the soundstage on my 2CH Audio system.

I have this powering A Musical Fidelity A300 amp..

Question is I currently have

1 x pair 8ft Straightwire Rhapsody Cables
1 x Pair 13ft Nordost Blue Heaven Rev II

I am bi-amping the system (great improvements), using the Straightwire
for low frequencies and the Nordost for Mid/High.

Question is, do you really think it's worth chopping the nordost to
the same length as the S/W, the difference is only about 4.5ft or so
and i would imagine that there is no real point in me doing this..

Any comments would be appreciated, also if anyone has any comments about the cable matchings, I find this to be a good match, the S/W is a good cable giving much better bass response than the nordost which on it's own in a normal system is very bright, using this for high and mid frequencies makes the Kef's really sing and the S/W gives a much more solid bass than the nordost.

Cheers

Gary
