PTPicker and 8mm Sigma

Hello all.
I have shot some difficult Panos recently and i have been
procrastinating before starting them because of all the
difficulties that i am now facing.Bar shots with detailed roof
and floor 800 iso film evening.
Nearly left this little detail out, 3 shots.
The scanning on the Nikon LS 2000 introduces all kinds of
errors the neg is not centralised in the holder, and sometimes
i think there is a guasian blur hidden in the scanner.
Anyway when using PTPicker and carefully chosing my points
when i choose optimise it only seems to optimise for a split
second hardly enough time to see the dialog, is this normal?
Now the result seems allright but parts of the image lean ie
the left hand side leans out left and the right to the right.
How is this leaning solved, is vertical determined by the first
image, and is making sure that it vertical a solution ?
Or should i manually stitch when shooting in very tight error
prone areas.
Would it be better with detailed zenith areas to shoot the above
shot and insert it at a later point by extracting and reinserting after
stitching such as Peter Murphys tutorial, or is anybody getting great
results starting off with PTPicker.
