It ought to be possible to restrain a lower resolution structure to look like a higher resolution structure, but off the top of my head I don't know how to do this, or which program might allow this. This would be justified, as long as you only restrain the parts that should be the same. This means keeping an eye on gradient maps or difference maps for evidence that the data demand that the lower resolution structure should differ in some region, then relaxing the restraints in that region.

answer: you could use harmonic restraints in cns with different weights for different regions. an alternative could be difference refinement

question: has anybody done any (bayesian) difference refinement recently ?
