[pianotech] Downbearing question

I am restringing a Steinway M. Before I pulled the strings I read a composite down bearing of 10 to 12 thousandths across the bass and tenor bridges. My question is, how much downbearing is too much.  At what point would it be worth pulling the plate to adjust it. The soundboard and bridges are in good condition.
