I assumed he would be somewhere below DF27>Z209 as well, as all of my 25 marker matches and up who have done snp testing are on some sort of branch below Z209, giving me the theory that my str signature, and theirs must be close to mode for the North/South cluster, but this 25 marker match is U152>Z36> down to R-BY64356. Interesting.
At this point, I only take STR matches seriously which SNP can be predicted. Then the proximity can matter. If they can't be predicted for my main branch, nobody can tell were they might end up. Some of my closest STR matches are in very different branches, which makes this haplogroup assignment, if it goes far enough, so important.
