[Ifeffit] Comparison of "amp" between Feff8.40 and feff6 - Curved waves or Plane waves?

Dear all,

While I am calculating FEFF path through Feff8.40 using the "feff8.inp" as attached, I notice that the value of "amp" shown on "FEFF interpretation page" for some paths goes over 100%. For example, path 14 has a Reff=3.9317 far away from first shell, yet it has an "amp"=169.913. On the contrary, if I do the same in Artemis through embedded Feff6.0(using "feff6.inp"),  none of paths has an "amp" over 100%. I am guessing this could be all right because Feff8 is using curved waves Feff6 instead plane waves. Any comments on this would be greatly appreciated!
