Yes, but when we make delta->0 we eliminate _all_ C terms, thus missing
the correct answer of
-Cf^2 L2^2 Rg^2 Vg^4+3 (4 Cf Rg^2 Vd^2+2 C Rg^2 Vd Vg)
Vg is potentially much larger than Vd (last two terms). In other words,
the magnitude of Vd, Vg and L2 could conspire together to make the last
term significant even though C<<Cf.
