.Hi Rmccall,
I agree with you, set idle speed warm, live with it when cold. Either wire the choke open or remove it completely. Next get out your vacuum gauge and set your mixture screws to max vacuum for the desired RPM, HOT ONLY! This should give acceptable idle don't be afraid to play with this, especially closing the mixture screws and opening the throttle plates.
Good Luck, Guy
PS As you are fooling around with all of this, MAKE SURE that you
set the accelerator pump linkage to "0" clearance every time you change the throttle plate position
