Hi all, just to second previous statements: Phaser has done wonders for me in a few tough cases, also at low resolution: Eg. various 6-10AA data sets with highly homologous search models. Or a rather bad search model: 1.8AA rmsd over ~50% of the residues. Often up to a point where the solution was correct, however model bias did not allow to get further. Sometimes it turned out to be helpful to increase the numbers of rotation solutions that are considered for the translation search.
