Does my printer need additional tuning?

Last week I got my m3 kit and got it built. Since then I've been tuning it trying to get better prints out of it and repeatable. I've fixed issues with poor bed adhesion already and PLA curling up by adjusting the live z and fixing some issues from while I was building it. Looking for some feedback on the print quality from those who have MK3s and are getting good prints out of them on how the prints coming out of mine compare.

There's a few photos of the benchy printed from the SD card with the slicing the comes with it as well as the 75x75 square from the forum thread on live adjusting. I found the 375ish is where I start to get consistent prints where there aren't gaps as can be seen in the 350 side.

The two things left I'm looking at doing are adjusting the X and Y belt tension as both are a bit off but curious as to whether I'm going to see any difference from where I'm at now. The printer is reporting X: 284, Y: 301.
