Hi Kenneth,
There are recognized advantages to including riding hydrogens during
refinement, even at low resolution. Others have written on this better than I
could (the following link is a post to the CCP4bb from the archives):

Subject: [ccp4bb] Do carbon scattering include hydrogen
Persons of interest:
I understood that refinements in refmac of low res structures without hydrogens
includes a component of the Hydrogen atom attached to the carbon in the carbon
scattering factors. Or is this just if the Hydrogen atoms
are in the riding position. If so, why bother to add hydrogens in the riding
position.
Thanks
kas
