Hi there,

at that resolution I'd go for one of the SHELX flavours. Comes to suit all
tastes. Jokes apart, I find that CNS is suitable for resolutions down to
about 1.9 or 1.8 A, perhaps even 1.7 A; at higher resolutions you can do
much better by switching refinement software, what comes to my mind is
SHELX.

And you can (provided you have enough observations) add things like
anisotropic temperature factor refinement. To be checked with your data
set, I am not advocating anisotropic B factore refinement if there are not
sufficient reflections to warrant it.
