So I'm confused.
You may not know what the spacegroup is, but you are processing
the same spots either way.  Why would you choose different
resolutions for the two processing runs?

By "great statistics", do you mean the refined R/Rfree in P21?
But you refined that model as a twin, which means that
the R factors are expected to be lower.  Refining as a twin
always produces lower R factors, whether or not the structure
really is twinned.

It doesn't make sense to me that you would compare at two 
different resolutions.  It's the _same data_ in either case.
If you refine two different models against the same data,
then you have a legitimate basis on which to compare them.
This way - not really.

Which brings up the point that something seems to have
gone wrong in one of your processing runs.
Both runs claim mean (I/sigI) in the outer shell is 2.0,
but in one case this is for the 2.4A shell and in the other case
it's for the 2.2A shell.  That is unlikely to be correct.
I/sigI should not depend on the Laue group. 

If it were me, I'd forget about monoclinic.
Also I'd try to push the data processing in orthorhombic
to a bit higher resolution.  Mean I/sig(I) of 2 in the 2.2A shell
leads me to think you would still be adding information
from reflections at 2.1A or even 2.0A.
