I know this may be sacreligion (sp) around here... but I am not a fan of the whole vinador type of situation when there are differences in ambient temp/humidity. I had two of them and finally gave up. One would add humidity and the other one would drop like a rock. That being said... I think you are over thinking the whole thing. Put the beads in there and give it a month. Then see what the readings are. Stabilization is a long term process...
