Yeah I have always used Beersmith and added about a gallon extra to the sparge to be safe. So far so good

This last brew I had enough water, just not good extract efficiency and a crappy boil. I guess I'll just have to wait to see what it tastes like. It should be done soon since I used a yeast cake from a batch that just went into the secondary fermenter. I had to put a blowoff tube into the bucket lid two hours after I put in in the bucket.
