They are much more knowledgeable than I, no doubt, so if they say cool, then cool.
Your pressure drop-off coupled with the smell of fuel is what points me to a leak. When I started up the car for the first time after the install, the pressure gauge on the regulator was too loose. You could definitely smell the gas and pressure would drop off to zero in under a minute. After getting it all nice and tight and verifying the other joints, my pressure stays steady long after shutdown, which is why that just seems normal to me.
I went with the Fuelab regulator for my setup.
