Harman Phoenix 200 Lightroom Preset v2

I finished up a second roll of Harman Phoenix 200 on the Leica M7 (seen in the feature image), and meticulously took notes for most of the shots. I then shot them side-by-side with my Leica M10-P using the same ISO, f/stop, and shutter speed.
I shot half of the roll at +1EV (effectively 100 ISO) and the the second half at +1/3EV (effectively ISO 160). Sorry, I never shoot box speed, so deal with it :P
Here are some samples of the native film, along with the preset being applied:

Note the color shift on the garage door that is supposed to be painted in the colors of the Italian flag. The red turned to orange making Italy suddenly Ireland. Go figure 🤷♀️

I copied the workflow similar to the MastinLabs presets where you start from the top and apply the preset, then work your way day to tweak to your liking.
Normally I would set the white balance temperature and tint, but it seems like Phoenix 200 is somewhere above daylight and seems to me to be around 6300K. That's where I've started for this iteration at least. Feel free to experiment.

Emulating overexposed Phoenix 200
Below is an example where I accidentally overexposed Phoenix by 3-4 stops. Highlights started to go, so figured I would make an emulation for that as well.

Very Blue Skies
I noticed some with the center-weighted meter that if the sky was the primary light source, the color turned a very strange, saturated color. I was able to emulate this by using the Crunchy preset along with the smart AI filter for selecting the sky and adding the appropriate shade of "nuclear" blue.

Emulating Uncorrected Lab Scans
I added a third option that emulates photo labs that appear to be running the negatives through without color correcting them.
