cold setting vs dropout setting

I am running a 126 Raleigh GS Comp with Dura Ace 9 speed. Great bike, my favorite ever, I'll get some pics up. Fine, no sweat, but the dropouts are at a slight angle due to spreading. I'm thinking of not cold setting the frame, but bending and aligning the dropouts to be parallel.
