What you think the offset should be and what it ends up being can be 2 different things. The way I get teh correct offset is trial by error. Run the routine and have it stop before the M3 and MEASURE the set height IF it is NOT correct change the offset value untill it is correct.
The real question IS will it repeat itself every time ending at the same value ?
WHile some may tell you too many wait states spoils the pie I have found them required many times over many machines and PCs to keep from breaking things(;-). As a rule I only use as many as it takes to make it run reliably. and not a mili secound longer BUT that may not run on your machine.
I do have a PC here that requires little to NONE on wait states but it is a old slow machine @ 1.2ghz. The faster one 3ghz you never know where the code will blow up.
BUT that is just my story your milage may vary due to local conditions (;-) LOLOLOL
