Recommended Low Light Preset?

Any recommendations for low light presets on the XHA1?

Have been shooting daylight scenes with PANALOOK and the footage looks great. Now moving onto night scenes and have found that it's tough to get proper exposure using PANALOOK unless artificial lighting is used (which I don't have). The factory setting allows for more exposure, but I'm looking for a preset with more of a "film look."
 
There's really no such thing as a "low light" preset. All that you're doing is stretching the gamma curve so that you get a bit more information out of the shadow area, which will always ends up making the footage looks milky and low contrast. You can't get a film look without adding additional light.
 
Understood, however I'm working without artificial lights so I'm going for the preset which will give the most polished look in low light. Obviously it's not gonna look like film, but I want to get as close as I can.

I've heard good things about the PFVISION preset. Any thoughts on this...?
