Andrew, It's impossible to diagnose the cause of your problems 
without having a copy of a set of images and your project file.  You 
should have carefully calibrated your lens to evaluate the lens 
parameters once and for all so that your control point distribution 
is considerably less important.  Use a template to set up the lens 
and image parameters and you will leave PTGui with much less to do 
and you should have much more reliable stitches.
