Personally I prefer to calculate the steps per unit from the hardware used as using the ste steps utility will only ever be as accurate as your measuring, also using it you really need to move over a large distance to get things more accurate.
Regarding the 4 or 5 clicks on reversal before the dial moves, that is backlash, could be in bearings or screws or even flexing of brackets.
