Hello @Joemama ;
The problem with all the numbers you mention is that different luthiers have different numbers. You would have to get your numbers from Martin specifically for that guitar in order to be able to trust them. “Proper” set up is very different for different types of guitars. Setting up a guitar is one of those things that’s more of an art than a science. Your saddle should be above the bridge more than “barely”.
However, for now, what you have works. You will have difficulty in the future and eventually have to get another saddle. As the guitar ages and as the weather changes, you may not have enough clearance to keep the strings from buzzing. If you were to decide you wanted to try lighter strings, you’d have a problem. Until any of these things (or other problems I haven’t thought of) occur, you are all good. Have fun.
