Hi Peter No, don't bother scaling in hkl2000.
Just take the .x files and read them into Pointless directly - it should auto-detect the file type and any output reflection file from it will be in MTZ format. Then Aimless can do the scaling. See the manual, e.g. https://www.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/harry/pre/pointless.html for details. You should be able to do this in ccp4i2 as well. If you use the already merged reflections for reindexing, there's a chance that reflections that are not equivalent will have been merged.
