And if I keep with the same dithering process I mentioned previously, the time lost to dithering will be a lot less overall. Refocus time applies either way, so no changes there.

Probably wouldn't drop below Gain 75 otherwise you'll start running into some other issues. The reason for this is that the chip only outputs 12-bits while at Gain 0 it is approaching 13-bits of dynamic range. At Gain ~75 it is capturing 12-bits of information.
