Any users can comment on C200 vs c300 vs c300 ll (using production and alexa lut) for b cam for Alexa?
 
For getting it right in camera, the C300 Mark II might be your best bet. Clog2 -> Production Camera Matrix ->Cinema Gamut would get you somewhere nea the Alexa Log C/Alexa Wide Gamut ball park.

With those settings you can use the Alexa LUTs in PP CC, for example, and only have to adjust exposure and saturation to get excellent results: color looks great SOOC.
 
A colorist at my office when looking at my footage said that Clog 2 on the C200 looks the closest to a Arri Alexa on how far you can push the grade.
 
Here's a very quick test I did a few weeks ago, I'm sure a better colorist could match them much closer.
Amira set to 12bit/2k/logc, C300mkii set to 12bit/2k/log2/production camera.

Here's another test from that shoot. I pushed them both in the grade a bit more and added some sharpening. I used a film convert LUT and also pulled down the saturation of his right ear, via secondaries in Adobe-PR.
