While in no way suggesting you are incorrect in your conclusion about the best angle to set this lever to, for the sake of accuracy I think you are wrong suggesting force is a a maximum when the cable is 90 degrees to the leaver, travel is maximum here, force is minimum. Bear in mind one attribute of a "cable in tension" is all force is coupled along the cable. Its not the case where have a component of force along and one perpendicular, as if it where a rigid body. At least that's the way I remember it goes.
I'm just being pedantic - maximizing the travel is probably what you need here anyway. ;-)
