Neither Ellison's nor Wang's plea agreements contain recommended sentences, or waivers of any right to appeal sentences, so I am probably wrong to assume SBF's would be any different in that respect. When speculating about sentencing I always consider that sentencing guidelines are just guidelines. They are not rules. I had a bet with a friend on Holmes' sentence, and we based our numbers on sentencing guidlines. That worked quite well. But with SBF there are more charges, the losses are so much higher, and things are moving so much faster, so I am not sure.
