Whenever I hear talk about "super tight clocking" and "MIDI timing errors" I am always amazed. I can't but think of live music and the fact that every live band you have EVER seen has had more timing error between players than probably any you have ever heard in MIDI. I know there is a want for timing perfection (to me a robotic perfection) but I often see a obsession to a perfection that it seems more often than not only the obsessor ever hears. Music doesn't need to be that perfect to me.

But if you want that level of perfection,it seems your only option is to get Expert Sleepers Silent way or some other DAW to clock solution. The more complex the MIDI stream is the more delay you will get between events - the nature of a slower serial protocol.
