then I do not want to see 90, 45 is still okay by me.

I think we're optimising the wrong thing!
At the cost of today's disk, why are we fighting over one (or two) tracks?

For 15 years I have allocated at least one cylinder for directory space.
Never had a STOW problem.

Arguing over a track or two is not a productive use of anybody's time.
