I think the "perfect" compression number is going to depend on things
like volumetric efficiency and the RPM at which you're running the
motor (presumably really low since you're using the starter?).

I'm also told that it varies depending upon the compression tester
that you're using.  I'm not sure why that would be, since I'd think
any accurate peak pressure gauge should give the same reading, but
that's what people say.

I think the best answer is that a compression test is a just kind of a
rough guess and if you care about more than that you should be doing a
leakdown test instead.
