[Ifeffit] problem with E0 (enot) parameters

Hi all,
I had followed your advices and I can shortly summarised what I've got.

I fitted with and without background with feff 6 and feff 8.4. For feff
8.4 I did also with SCF=4.0
I fitted only first two peaks (R(1.7-4A) k(3-15A^(-1)))

for feff 6 and feff 8.4 I had the same values of E0 for N and C, non
using self-consistent potential, using it enot became smaller. All other
parameters are playing around, within th error bars. 

fits with bkg and without it have very simnillar results, see below.
more you can find on pictures:

_feff6 : with and without bkg for feff6
_feff8.4 : as above for ver 8.4
