Le Bail vs. Rietveld, in determing precise unit cell dimensions

Hey everyone,

I am doing powder refinement on a series of monoclinic samples. My main
interest is the unit cell dimension change over the solid solution series,
so I can't help wondering how is the quality & reliability of cell
dimension results obtained via Le Bail method compared with Rietveld
refinement. Lots of time can be saved if Rietveld refinement is not that
necessary.

Thank for any help in advance.
