Headstands: Pressure on hands or not?

Just wondering:  When doing headstands (PE2), should I try to minimize the pressure on my hands by aligning my body more in a straight line over my head, or at this point is it fine to split the load fairly evenly between the two?  

 

I ask only because last night I was striving to get more inline on my head, thereby minimizing the load on the hands, and I found that oh-so-thin line between perfect balance on the head and... uh... tipping over backwards.  Yeah, I did it - I admit it!  :D

The pressure should be shared between the hands and the head.
