I wouldn't worry too much about it. If the car starts and runs OK, I would just leave it alone and enjoy it!

From what knowledge I have gained on here, its more important to have the numbers for each rotor close than it is to have higher numbers.

That is pretty good for such a low cranking rpm. The differential (0.7kg/cm^2) is a bit higher than ideal but overall you are totally fine.
