Hello Lisa, Could the 10-20A be a result of cryo damage as opposed to true packing disorder? (try collecting a few images at room remp)
If its cryo damage, improve your cryo / try different cryoprotectants. If its not cryo, just screen about a thousand different crystals from around the same conditions as is giving you 10-20A. There will undoubtedly be some in there that are much much better - I'd say even better than 3A.
