1DC: how does the 1DXii compare to the 1DC skin tone wise???

As a former 1DC owner/user, I was stunned at how easy and effortless it was to achieve great looking skin tones with the 1DC with very minimal color correcting and grading. It was one of the features I most loved about the 1DC.

Question for anyone who has had the chance to work with both: how does the 1DX Mark II perform skin tone wise? I understand that it has less latitude since it doesn't have "C Log". But is it just as easy to achieve natural skin tones?

I've seen a few videos already posted on vimeo and youtube, but I'm looking for talking head interview style examples from the 1DX Mark II.

Thanks very much in advance.
 
OK, so picture wise then, the only major difference is more latitude with the 1DC due to C-log.
Colorwise, it's the same Canon color science. Meaning everything we've come to love about the pleasing skin tones produced with the Canon 300 or 1DC will be exactly the same with the 1DX Mark II, correct?

C-Log has a different colour science than picture profiles like neutral or standard. But they are all pleasing. If you shoot 1DC and 1DX II in neutral profile with the same setting, you can't tell the difference.
 
Does anyone know if you can add the technicolor "cinestyle" profile on the 1DX2?

Considering one as a B-Cam to my c300mk2 for an upcoming project.
