I'm not picking you up on this point BTW ...

Why couldn't it have been for both? Seems sensible enough for me. Why do people have to polarise things? I think those that are saying it was midwinter and <i>not</i> midsummer are being contrary for the hell of it. The Heel Stone and its lost partner (to me) prove the midsummer alignment. The midwinter only theory just fits in with the Durrington wood for the living & Stonehenge stone for the dead theory.
