Any method to give a different listening perspective is good.

So if I understand this right this means...mixing @ 57 DbSPL

I think diafxmx was simply trying to reinforce what yazoo already knows, that such a monitor level is too low to be a practical mixing level. You cannot adequately hear most problems at such a low level. Yazoo wrote he is thinking to set his monitors for 77db, which sounds like a good approach to me.
For perspective, I personally like to listen to a MONO combine of the LtRt downmixed from 5.1 played through a really awful little TV. Unfortunately the TV distorts unless it is played very softly so clients hate it. I do that check without their presence. BTW, I typically use 75-77dbC for tv mixing, depending on the target dialnorm level.
