[phenixbb] Fo-Fo difference map for non-isomorphous datasets

Hi,
I am trying to generate a Fo-Fo difference map for two data sets of the same protein at ~2.3 angstrom resolution. One dataset is native and the other was soaked with a metal ion, so the purpose of the map is for identifying and visualizing peaks that may correspond to a bound metal ion.
These datasets differ by 6 angstroms (~10%) along the A edge - an isomorphous difference map generated in Phenix GUI wasn't useful
As an alternative I was planning to make a real-space Fo-Fo difference map making use of Superpose Maps in Phenix Gui as follows:
Superpose maps would be used to superimpose (Fobs.metal, PHI.metal) and (Fobs.native, PHI.native)
The superimposed maps will be opened in Coot and a difference map generated using "Extensions -> Maps -> Make a difference map"
There were two things I was unsure about:
Does this seem like a reasonable alternative?
Is scaling of the two datasets required before generating the difference map?
Cheers,
Jordan
