I suspect that you're going to be clsoe enough to the experimental figure
with your guestimate. I also suspect that you'd get pretty close to a good
figure experimentally, the only thing I'd add is that you might get a more
accurate cell count by one of the various flow cytometry methods, and that
might boost your accuracy a bit. At the end of the day, the theoretical
value is probably good enough:-)
Shame though, I could just fancy a creme egg right now...
