Is this normal

I have followed the calibrate the Z probe trigger height documentation (have done it several times, the paper is very tight between nozzle and bed) and ran G29. I start a print but the nozzle is .7 mm too high. I compensate for it in s3d with a -.7 Z offset, first layer is now ideal. Is this how others do this or am I missing or not doing something right?
I just now noticed the last line of my config.G , I know I put it there but can't remember why, I've commented it out for now.

Part of the problem could be that you don't have an X Y offset for the BlTouch. This will mean that the height map isn't accurate for where the nozzle actually is.
https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Test_and_calibrate_the_Z_probe#Section_Measuring_Probe_X_Y_Offset4mm seems pretty high for a trigger height for the BLTouch as well. When it's mounted as described in the BLTouch documentation the base of the probe should be ~8mm above the nozzle tip, which should give ~2mm trigger height, which is the sweet spot for it's reliability.
