Joe,

if you are into testing these different approaches, you may also
consider this (which is also described by Bernhard on p.344 of his book)

Sivia&David, 1994, Acta Cryst A50:703.

It's a simple calculation that is easy to implement, and I have the code
that does the conversion, let me know if you'll need it.

Also beware that phenix used to ignore input Fo's as long as the
intensities are still present (this may have changed though).  So if you
want it to use the Fo's that you have supplied, make sure that
intensities are deleted from the input mtz-file.
