I would think the total angle is what would be important as the riser will be in the middle. At about .008 per inch (.5 deg.) that won't add up to much.

I don't think you will see the .5 degree difference- you can do a quick check to verify using the "Hera" method. If the limbs are equal in weight and you can't see the difference- you should find that the 21 degree vs. the 21.5 degree will end up being the bottom or stiffer limb.
