That looks like a nice setup. You might consider instead of having your groundstroke wings even, unbalancing them. That way if it's hit to the weak side you just try to stay in the rally. But if it's hit to the strong side you can approach off an even stronger shot than you otherwise could.
I forgot what my setup was, but I have 44 on my FH and 64 on my BH with my female player. People really try to hit it to my forehand a lot. So I can sit on that side and just focus on keeping the rallies neutral. Then when they go to my backhand I can go for a little more.
The worst part about S&V is their stamina is always incredibly low, which is fine, but their stamina meter gets drained quicker than any other style of play. By the end of the first set, even with relatively easy service games, my players stamina bar is usually just a speck.
