I say keep using M1 0W40, and knowing that the oil is doing its job.
Oh, I fully plan to. I'm actually really curious to see what the next UOA looks like, got about 2500 miles more to go.

If the last report came back with something like 20PPM iron, then I'd clearly point that out. Heck if you read their summary, they even mention word for word what we are talking about "hey we noticed increase in iron. Did you drive car hard? don't worry though, still about average. Nice report"
