I saw an interesting demonstration by Massad Ayoob on one of the shooting shows. When he stood in a position that allowed the most natural shooting stance, well back from cover, the threat could "see" him by moving about five feet laterally from its cover position. When the shooter moves inboard and closer to cover, the shooting position (speed/accuracy) is somewhat compromised, but in order for the threat to see much of you, it has to move about fifteen feet from cover. So, there certainly can be a "tactical" advantage staying close/deep in your cover position, but your score will probably suffer. I always try to position myself for the most natural shooting position that's still consistent with the cover requirements of the rules. If someone were shooting at me, I'm sure I'd change that.
