Hi Melody, There was a nice discussion in this year's ccp4 study weekend. In general, one needs to consider several factors.. If you were at 3A, or low symmetry, you would of course try to get the maximum out of it, on the other hand, there are requirements for experimental phasing.. in general,

Redundancy of 4.8 for a 74% complete shell (if I understand which shell these stats are for) suggests you have assumed too much symmetry and are rejecting a lot of reflections during scaling. Is this the case? The I/sigma suggests you could drop the symmetry and re-scale without losing a

Hi - I would tend to argue as follows: An I/sigI of 3, and Rmerge of 33.6% are most definitely acceptable values with a redundancy of 4.8. Thus, despite the 74% completeness, that data are most definitely useful and should be included in refinement. A good question now is why is the
