What's the piston/ring manufacturer recommend for end gap? That's who you really need to listen to. You definitely do not want to end up too tight.

Too loose and you end up with 0.25% more leak down. Never notice.

Too tight and score/gall/seize bores the first time it runs, or is run hard. You'll cry about an expensive lesson learned for a long time.
