A consequence of the mass increase is that the reduced maximum radius for the 128 bins is higher than the original in order to accommodate objects of larger mass. With the initial conditions at 100x mass, the 128 bins range from a minimum radius of $5m$ to a reduced maximum of $238km$. It should be noted that the breakpoint radius remains unchanged at 69.01km, meaning that there are less bins of 'negligible' mass below the breakpoint.  The effects this the higher system mass  would have on the evolution would be that with a wider range of masses, particularly larger masses, the effect of Dynamical Friction would be significantly increased. Also due to the higher system mass, the number density of each mass bin would be significantly higher, increasing the effect of Viscous Stirring too.
