Based on my experience with TT's you won't have an issue with tongue weight on the return trip. Check the fill TW, make sure it's not too much and enjoy.
IMHO if you have a close scale then a TW scale is a waste of money, figure out where you are at and retest when you make major loading changes.
Just a reminder, if you have 900 of payload remaining you only have about 800 after a WDH. Really you should be looking for a trailer with a TW of 750 max, or max GVW of 5000-5500, the empty weight of 4000 still is looking pretty solid. It doesn't take much to add 50lbs to the tow vehicle and lose more available payload.
