Assuming we are using the same terminology..My peak bridle, I call it the span, is technically able to self-adjust as you suggest, but it found its natural resting place and hasn't moved for ages. Wire or chain is best, in your position I would leave it as chain for the moment.
Peak bridles are highly stressed, plus the consequences of them parting in strong weather would spoil your day! If you alter it, use wire, but someone probably designed it the way it is for good reasons... which may not be apparent until you have done some sailing in various conditions..
Some clever chap said just change one thing at a time and see the results first, before you change anything else.
The main is looking great after your tweaking!
