No worries,

Me neither at this point. I was probably worried about the impact of
changing these values causing visible issues in the stride/line widths
or such. But if you're testing and capturing images successfully I'm not
worried now.

Or maybe that was the part to check visually ;-) But I guess it's not
easy to capture the full raw images for these ?
