I usually use the WB setting but as you do, I will sometimes use the neutral setting.
I haven't used "Ektachrome" in quite a while, but the film I have used when not shooting Velvia is Elite Extra Chrome, which I understand is the consumer version of Ektachrome 100VS (I think...)I actually like that film very much. I do get the same results as with Velvia, and again, that film does much better when I use the Polaroid software. My monitor was set up with Adobe Gamma and I use that profile in VS. I know that hardware calibration is best, but I have been getting very good results with prints matching what I see on the monitor with Photoshop--so I have been reluctant to do anything with the monitor setup. Anyway, if you or someone would be willing to send me your Vuescan settings from an Ektachrome or Velvia scan (Save Settings and email the resulting vuescan.ini file), I might learn my errant settings.
