Marvels Cine Picture Style Help

Lately I've been using Technicolor Cinestyle and have heard that Marvels Cine picture style is better. Anyways, i'm hoping to keep both and flip between them (Which i am doing since i have both picture styles installed on my camera). My main question comes in post however. When I edit footage now in FCP 7 (going to try premier for my next film i think) I import the clips, do the trimming etc, and on the clip I drag LUT buddy onto it. Then I go to import LUT, choose the S-curve for Cinestyle and apply it. It then makes the clips more vibrant and I can change the levels of the LUT.

Now, here is the question. When I use Marvels Cine Picture style do I still need to import the LUT and apply it? And should I be using the same one that I use for Technicolor's or is there a different one I should get? I've looked all over youtube and vimeo trying to find tutorials or just googling but I havent been successful. Anyone who uses these your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You do any grading you want without an LUT curve. The LUT curve used for CineStyle can be replicated by using your standard tools, the curve is just their own suggested initial grading. If there is an LUT curve for Marvel's Cine, I haven't seen it.

As with all compressed footage from DSLRs (and technically everything, DSLR footage is just less forgiving then some others), you should aim to get the final look you want in camera, without any post-processing.

Marvel's Cine picture style attempts to give you less of a flat look too reduce the amount of post-processing work you would otherwise have to do with CineStyle.
