Johanna - I think G is "safe" to use - I don't think there are any special considerations, apart from overall scaling. In other words, I don't know what the scaling of the units is (you could consult the Brainstorm package that SPM5 uses for forward modelling), but I don't think the scaling of the units is terribly important for the kind of work we do.
