My solar panel lifts controller switch is in the same compartment as my charge controller. It makes no difference where I'm at, as long as the panels are pointing south, I get about 40% increase in energy, according to the display on my MPPT controller, when I tilt my panels to the correct angle.

Then you haven't done the math correctly. If the only time you have an increase of 40% is when they are tilted up (assuming you are always parked in the right direction), then it's only a 40% increase X amount of the time they are up. If it's 50% of the time, then it's only a 20% total increase.
I'm not arguing that you should get rid of them. If it works for you, thats awesome. I'm arguing someone who is building a system, should add panels with that money, if they have roof space. It's simply best practice in the industry.
If you want to piss on my education, fine. But, the simple fact is your math just isn't right and the strategy you used isn't a good one for most new installs.
