Answering the original asker:
Wenham had over 560, and our group seemed to remember a lot of the stuff. Note that 462 is enough to take you to all words occurring 30x or more, which is where the Reader's Bibles and Reader's Lexica seem to draw the line.
The thing that killed me the first time going through was that, when we came to the Aorist, there were suddenly a bucketload of Aorist forms to learn. Were I teaching, I'd make sure the overview lesson on verbs included the 6 principal parts (just the 1st person singular), with an overview of how λύω worked in that regard, so that as students memorised the verbs, they could get all 6 principal parts down.
Probably too late to be useful to the original asker, but may help someone.
