My issue is that when I crank up the volume on the pre-amp to just before the clipping LEDs on the 5500 come on (-18 dB on the pre-amp display), I have to use the +4dBu setting on the BFD and set the LFE out @ +2dB on the pre-amp to get the red 0dB LEDs on the BFD to clip on occasion.

I would set the LFE out @ 0 dB etc. Although the BFD doesn't clip right away, I wouldn't let the red LED lit, if you can avoid it.
