Especially important would be the overlap of both. Plot your histograms
and see if they sufficiently overlap, you need lots of data at every point
along the coordinate.

Each of your bins will only be .3 degree wide. Look at the point where
both histograms are most sparsely populated. How many data point per bin
would you have? If too few, reduce the number of bins accordingly, or do
you really need such a finely resolved reaction coordinate?

Im no WHAM expert, but that sounds ok to me. You are one stroke of the
'Enter' key away from finding out :-D

You have two-windows because you have two (endpoint) simulations that
provide you with histograms. I said by hand because Im not sure if WHAM
will accept a zero force constant. All the better if it does.
