I run mine at the loose end of the spec. Some people don't like the increased potential for jerkiness, but I've found that if make an effort to be smooth on the clutch and throttle, it's not an issue.
The nice part about running at the loose end of the spec is that there is almost no stretching. I just topped 4K miles and I still haven't done the first chain adjustment.

Lots of people adjust their chains too tight. Hard on sprockets, and chains, and output shaft seals. If you are going to error, error on the loose side. Seems like you got it covered.
