I haven't brewed a really big beer in years and didn't keep very good notes last time I did. I'm usually in the 76% range. I do recall coming up short on OG the last time I did though. What do you BIAB non-recirc guys see for BH efficiency on your 1.10+ brews??
 
You will lose efficiency making high gravity beers on any system. When I was doing straight BIAB like you my normal efficiency was around 76% but for those big beers I set it to 60 to 65%. Even then it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a couple pounds of DME on hand. Good luck.
