Dear Yavar, you are going to miss the contribution of the augmentation charge to the |psi|^2. That is not important if you are interested in spacial regions far from any atom (small or zero overlap with the augmentation spheres); that might instead be important if you want a quantitative analysis in the atomic region. For the latter, however, the analysis of the atom-projected DOS could be much more useful (or you could implement augmentation charge contributions).
PS please write to the list only, not to personal addresses.
