But fake data will always look much better than real data - to start with,
the B-factors will be all wrong.

There are actually a handful of PDB entries that are between 8.0 and 12.0
and have experimental data deposited:

1H1K, 1PNS, 1PNX, 1VCR,1ZBB, 2QIJ, 2QZV, 3LVH, 3PCQ

and 1VOQ, 1VOR, 1VOS, 1VOU, 1VOV, 1VOW, 1VOX, 1VOY, 1VOZ, 1VP0, which are
all the same structure split over multiple files.

I'd suggest downloading a few of these and looking at the maps.
