Default Good Compression Numbers?

Did a leak down on a 87' 911 with 124k miles. Compression numbers are as follows: 160, 165, 167, 170, 168, 168. Top end rebuilt at 113k.

How am I lookin??

looks good .. but personally I like the leak down test better. Don't get me wrong if the compresion test is out to lunch look no further , but if I was having a guy do that I wouold have him do a leak down to check integrity of exhaust valve , intake valve seals and rings.
