What was your TAS?

To further optimize, you may want to consider setting the RPM to about 2000...2100 RPM. I don't know if Accusim goes into propeller efficiency that deeply, but your revs are a tad high for the cruise airspeeds I'd expect from the Skylane, resulting in a bit smaller than optimal advance ratio. Unless of course you keep them up for performance. Also at that altitude, you generally want to go "all-in" with your throttle; I don't know the weather conditions you were dealing with, but an inch or more is there in standard conditions.
