I noticed that by putting a space between the mu and m in setoptions,
it looks OK

The space disappears if you remove the ColorFunction gradient from the plot parameters.  Also, if you change \[Mu] to a standard character like m, the formatting looks perfectly accep table.  To be honest, I don't really understand the reason for the [#] & following the ColorData tag, but the gradient doesn't seem to work properly without it.  Is my syntax correct?
