Has anyone tried Koji Color film emulsion LUTs? Opinions?

Seeing as Koji seems to base their LUTs on Kodak and Fuji film emulation LUTs, to be honest I'm not Koji's LUTs do anything different than the kodak and fuji LUTs there are already available for free on the internet.
Koji's LUTs seem to be based around Kodak 2383, 2393, Fuji 3514, 3521, 3523 and a few black and white stocks but if you checkout Juan Malera's LUTs you'll find a decent set also using Kodak and Fuji stocks. Here's a link to his page: http://juanmelara.com.au/print-film-emulation-luts-for-download/ (Perhaps original credit goes to Bjorn Benckert from Syndicate Entertainment who is the original individual that made these LUTs available.)
Davinci Resolve also includes Kodak 2383 and Fuji 3513 film emulation LUTs as of version 10 I believe. (Resolve is free) You can download just the LUTs here separately if you like from my site http://www.starcentral.ca/forums/LUTs/kodak_Fuji_LUTs.zip
One thing Koji will have done is transformed these base film emulation LUTs to work with different log gammas from various camera's. But in reality, slog3, canon c-log and arri log-c are all approximately the same gamma curve so you can use these free LUTs likely on 99% of the latest log footage you might be working with.

The only ones that seem to have specific camera profiles (that I know of) are FilmConvert and ImpulZ LUTs (which offers different LUT sets for different cameras). As a FS700 user, I'm happy about that as it seems to have a bit of its own colour profile, even in SLog2...
I did try Koji Advance when it came out and I liked it, it offers extra controls beside the LUTs, grain for example.
I'm surprised that there hasn't been more grain/texture plug-ins (emulations?) made. I feel the elusive film look more has to do with texture than colour (but both go hand in hand)...
