Leveling your turntable, your approach?

Not satisfied still with the sound from my TT setup, I decided to revisit the leveling situation. I discovered it was fine side to side, it was slightly low in the back, by 1mm or so. However, I thought why not tackle the levelness as it effects the arc of the cartridge with an actual record on the platter. A whole new issue was presented as my 5" Empire spirit level spanned from label to rim of several records to dial in a new dead level as the stylus would ride. Have I reinvented the wheel on leveling, or is this a novel approach, Cheers, BR

I would have to believe that the most important factor in "leveling" would be to make sure the platter was rotating around the axis perpendicular to the vertical axis of the bearing. Imagine extending the vertical axis of the bearing and proving perpendicularity with the horizontal plane of the platter.
This same logic would also apply to the pivot point of the tonearm.
