I would not have thought that a slightly lower offer would make that much difference, but what your IP will need to see is an unconditional offer of funding to you so that they can make an informed decision and therefore put forward your best offer to creditors.
The few hundred pounds to which you refer, probably will only effect the proposed dividend return by a penny or so, and don't forget that Max Recovery are likely to make a handsome profit as they probably did not pay too much for the debt in the first place. This creditor are particularly commercial and sensible when it comes to reviewing full and final settlement offers.
