I don't get lower efficiency with wheat.  This could be because I might crush a bit finer than others.  It could also be because I only use Great Western white wheat which has a grain size comparable to 2row.

I'm not sure how I do it, but I nail my Beersmith predicted OG 90% of the time.  Crush grains myself.  Never adjusted the gap.  Mash pH of 5.2-5.6.  Single batch sparge.    Semi-accurate +/- 2* mash temps in a cooler.  45-60 minute mash.
