VTF on a Dynavector 10x5

I just had a Dynavector 10x5 installed on my VPI Scout by a dealer. When I got home I just checked the VTF on my Shure guage and I'm coming up with a reading of 2.5 grams. Dynavector says it should be between 1.8 and 2.2 grams.

Should I worry about the tracking force or just leave it alone?

So far, it sounds great. Though the cantilever does appear slightly not perfectly straight, I haven't heard any distortion, so I assume the dealer allowed for this when he set it up.

What scale did your dealer use? The Shure gauge is not dead on accurate, in fact I know the one I own (which I use as a backup) is off by almost 0.3 grams.
I also own a Winds gauge (my primary VTF gauge) and a 2 gram Class 1 calibration weight (to verify accuracy) so I am basing this on actual measurement. Don't discount your dealers ability to do the job correctly.
