yeah ... I've found that mm_per_unit 40 is a fairly good starting point. 
you can most generally see if you need to go higher or lower easy 
enough. given the scale I'm working with I'd say maybe even triple that 
might not be to out of line. I'll probably end up doing a couple of half 
step runs between 40 and 120 to see where I end up.
