From the statistics you posted, it seems like the integration went quite 
reasonably. There is a slight undercompleteness in the high resolution bin (82% 
is a bit on the low end but since this is for phasing I'd expect a traceable 
map in light of this). 

Do the diffraction images indicate very strong (say I/sd > 4) spots beyond 3A?  
If so then it seems that they're being rejected in the final analysis, possibly 
due to overlaps.  If so, I would certainly recollect this data to obtain the 
higher resolution spots for refinement (not necessarily for phasing). 


Depending on how long you've been at this, I'd be eager to solve the structure 
first :) 

Go with a synchrotron source, Pt anomalous peak is nearer to 1.1A than 1.54A. 

Except with the iodide data. Did that have a great anomalous signal?
