less stickout can do a few things for you; it will make your placement more accurate, increase the heat and decrease your vision. i find that i get a sloppy gun angle the closer i get, but i do weld much better with about 1/4" stickout.

I try to run 1/4 - 3/8" stick out so the average is 3-5/16th. Maintaining proper gun attitude is the most likely the handicap. I think through the work position, line of travel, and gun position in advance of pulling the trigger but having the talent to reinact it is another thing.
To date my tubing weld are inducing a gag reflex.
Thanks again.
