I think the manual white balance produces a very neutral result....some may consider this "cool"...as in "not warm"...The nice thing about the xl2, is that you have a lot more color control...

The equivalent to the "thin" mode on the xl2 is the "normal" detail mode (which is also the default settiing). The xl2 also has a "low" setting which corresponds to the "thick" detail...
