The GD cures these, and it is by far the easiest to teach, learn and use on a day to day basis. In my opinion, you call strikes that you can't even see in the other plate stances.
John, you are just about 2 steps away from using the GD. Why not go for it ??

Wow. I have never heard these issues blamed on a hee/toe stance before. Sound more like inexperience than anything inherent with a stance.
I've gone back from GD to hee/toe...actually heel/instep as the Evans' instructors permitted on the last day...and have never been as solid behind the plate. I use a good lock-in with my non slot hand, my alignment in the slot does not vary, even with catchers who move out, I can see the outside corner very well without moving my head and by using the three steps to get into my stance, my head height does not vary during a game.
If you experience these problems with heel/toe, I'd suggest it has little to do with the stance itself and much to do with the execution.
