Dear Eli,
there are different approximations inside and outside the MT. This will
alone give you differences - I can't confirm that it will be in the mRy
range... sometimes, maybe.
So I would say that it is not a numerical effect. Anyway, you can
converge the numerical effects quite well by, e.g., increasing the
sampling density inside the MT.
Best regards,
Torsten Andersen.
