I think that you are deviating from 'the formula' so much by adding stuff, that you are reducing the microelements to low levels. I personally think the micros in this formula are somewhat low already, and they certainly have a role in taste as well.
I don' think EC is the only way to have taste. Organic fertilizer doesn't really increase EC (or so they say, I don't have an EC meter, I'm kind of curious) and one can get good stuff with it, just having a good balance of food should be enough. My plants are always well watered and taste is still great with organics, especially at beginning of season.
