Note that the electron diffraction experimental bond lengths (which are averages over anharmonic molecular vibrations) are longer than the calculated bond lengths (which neglect effects of vibrations) and the differences to be expected are typically 0.008 Å for C-C bonds and 0.02 Å for C-H bonds. When these differences are taken into account, the agreement between theory and experiment becomes even better. See, for example, Bartell, L. S. J. Chem. Phys. 1955, 23, 1219.
