MaxIM 3D plots

I am not sure what I am expecting to see in MaxIM regarding the 3D plot of star focus - is ANY degree of flat top "acceptable" or is the aim to get a pointed top showing a perfectly focused star image?

I am still hand-focusing, and am getting some pretty tight 3D plots, but do I need to aim for the pointed spire? (probably nigh on impossible hand focusing in the CFZ with an f/5 scope).

My Sharpsky will be up and running later this week.
