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 lot of data if this is the case.
