CC alone wouldn't be totally sufficient. CC is scale independent. For
example, if you compare two very weak densities, say visible at below 0.1
sigma, and If these densities are similar enough then you will still get
good CC.

Therefore it's good to use CC and map values together. This is exactly why
phenix comprehensive validation prints you a list of map CC and 2mFo-DFc and
mFo-DFc map values per atom or per residue (depending on resolution).

It's good to use bias-free maps for this. There is no need to mention how to
obtain those maps - there are plenty of literature on this subject.
