Hi Smith,

Phenix version 1.10.1 (the latest official) is the one to use, and by 
design it is supposed to be superior than previous versions. Actually 
this is what you confirm with your results: with 1.10.1 you get better 
model (less Ramachandran plot outliers, similar other metrics) and 
better model-to-map fit (CC =0.761 vs 0.687).

It is not clear to me why you find the model from 1.10.1 version 
unacceptable.

I suggest you to find a handful of most severe steric clashes and 
resolve them.
