It seems to me that when I make contact and push off with my feet and knees together (and everything else is correct) I get much farther out than when I have my feet seperated, say 12-18" apart.
I think there is some drag created, with the seperated feet/legs, on the pushoff. More power can be generated with legs seperated to shoulder width, but if the drag cancels the benefit of the stronger pushoff, than all you are doing is getting more tired.
Anyone else notice this?

Feet apart. However, I don't flip straight over, heels over head. I land kind of shoulder width apart on my side.
I drove myself nuts over this for months. I came to terms with myself. My feet are apart, which is how it should be. I sleep well.
