Francis, I would at least compute all the maps to the same resolution, and as I suggested earlier use all the Fobs data you have, and finally try using E's. The differences could be due to the solvent model (or lack of it) in the Fcalc's, though I concede that doesn't explain the difference between Molrep & Polarrfn for the Fobs data. Using E's down-weights the low-res solvent contribution, so it might help here.
Sorry can't help with Molrep, I've never tried doing comparisons with Polarrfn. It could be that Molrep is applying some default sharpening factor.
