Hi Pavel,

it may be interesting to see percentage of outliers in the input model. If the 
input model contains a large percentage of outliers, phenix cannot do magic, 
and rev 2155 may be better than 2037 in the sense that it better balances 
between data and geometry. Hence, if it does not force rotamer outliers to be 
corrected against the data, there will be more outliers in the output. To me 
this notion is supported by the improved gap R-work vs. R-free in the later 
version.

This depends, though, on the input model.

Best,
Tim
