If you mirror in the -x direction, then the mirror is based on the vertices farthest in the -x direction rather than being based on the objects pivot. That also means the geometry doesn't have to be centered on the origin.

But that was really good thinking though

Ah, right. I thought he had done a duplicate special. Oh well.
