Thanks Aaron,

Do you happen to know how many timesteps it would take to reach that value?

At the moment I am stopping at about 5000 models (with essentially default
settings) and it seems to be converging to the tip so I am just worried it
will take say another 20000 to get essentially the same answer.

Cheers,

Jeremy
