Tuning Beersmith to my brew rig

I have been a long time user of Beersmith.  Still love it.  I have changed brew rig configurations a few times over 7 years.

I think with equipment and other profiles that I can get pretty close to volumes and waste and gravity and IBUs.

One remaining item, color is still a problem for me.  I am always 4 points higher than Beersmith says I should be.  Probably my RIMS setup.  Here is another post I made to describe it:

Can you add a variable to equipment profile which allows me to request that Beersmith reports higher SRM estimate based on my 4 point known differential?  On the recipe screen and printouts you would show the adjusted value...maybe in italics so I know that it is adjusted.

Any consideration is appreciated.

Hi,
  BeerSmith uses the Morey equation for estimating color which is the industry standard.  Currently I don't have an option to adjust it:
