Never got any paperwork on the actual alignment.
That's a problem. That tells me that they don't know what they did, either.
If at this point its just the aesthetics that are causing you to lose you sleep, change it out. But when you do, check the camber before you try tinkering with it. If the new one is out, send it back.
Personally, I'd check the camber on the one you've got. You don't know what the numbers are, and your alignment shop was unwilling or unable to provide them. They bent your axle to achieve what you have, and if the shop messed it up, they're responsible to putting it to right.
Here's a quick way to get the numbers.
Park on a flat surface, grab a carpenter's square and a hand screw clamp, and set it up so it bisects the spindle, and don't disturb it:

Measure the distance from the top of the rim to the square, noting also the height, at which the measurement is being taken:

Top is 3 1/16 at 17 11/16 tall
Do the same at the bottom:

And the bottom of the rim to the square, same story - in this case, 3 1/16 @ 5 7/8:
Now in my case, I was looking to achieve neutral-to-positive camber, but I started out with negative camber and got to these numbers - which are close enough for the speeds my car achieves.
But let's change one of the numbers. Let's change the distance to the square on the top to 2 7/8, which I seem to recall is where I started - it's been a few years, but we'll give Pythagoras a call:
17.6875 - 5.875 = 11.8125 - there's your base, or "b"
Height of the triangle will be the difference of our 2 7/8 number (2.875) and 3 1/16 (3.0625) so "a" = .1875
And here's where I cheat:

Angle A is camber .9 degrees
Check both sides. If they're out, I'd go give the alignment shop holy hell, and you can watch them squirm when you show them the math.
