I shoot most narrowband at Unity (Gain 139, Offset 20) and that is with 5 min subs max,i would never shoot longer subs with that camera, even at max well depth of Gain 76. When i shoot high gain (200), i drop my sub times down to 90 sec.
Yeah, Jon [Rista] over at CN has argued pretty much the same - keep subs short, and lots of them, and don't go ballistic with the bias/offset. I personally think you're bias/offset settings are too high and you would do better to drop them.
