PMW 500 - What settings do you use?

I have now taken delivery of my PMW 500. I have the BBC settings on a SDHC card for when I work in News which is in FAT mode at 35mbps. But what I would like to know is what settings people are using for when filming at 50mbps for say corporate or documentary/feature work.
Ideally I'd like settings that won't be graded either at all or very little and give a generally natural look but with a bit of punch and vibrancy to the colours.

I copied some of the settings from here, I like the look of both the files, one has REALLY crushed blacks which I reckon would suit docco work.
I popped in our BBC settings and then changed the bits suggested on here and saved it as a new file
Only used these on 35mbps though

Thanks for the reply, but there's no link to the settings!
