Not to derail the thread, but there is nothing, imho, wrong with I/s=1 cutoff (you expect I/s=2, I assume?). R-factors will get higher, but there are good reasons to believe that model will actually be better. This has been discussed many times before and there is probably no resolution, so why not just let people choose whatever resolution cutoff they want (as long as the I/s is clearly stated)? Disclaimer: I always use I/s=1 cutoff (assuming that completeness is good, of course). Compared to I/s=2 it doesn't really overstate resolution all that much (e.g. 2.1 vs 2.2).
