Can you provide a sample of the content and/or your command line?
And what's the problem with the higher peak bitrates? Reducing the bitrate likely would reduce the visual quality as well.
--hme can help reduce bitrates with noisy motion some. And --preset slower is generally a good starting point when compression efficiency is the goal.
