Ya, the Technicolor thing looks pretty OK. Note I've only seen it a couple of times. But in my circle, most use something similar to what Stu Maschwitz suggests:
• Start with the Neutral Picture Style
• Set Sharpness to zero—all the way to the left
• Set Contrast all the way to the left
• Set Saturation two notches to the left
Works well enough.
Check out his detailed (and funny) FAQ on Canon DSLR settings and his reason for preferring these settings to Technicolor's (short version: if camera goes down or you're working with multiple/rented cameras, you can easily set up something like his flat settings):

> Hey, someone was just telling me about the Technicolor CineStyle Profile for Canon cameras. I have not used it, but thought I would pass it along in case you wanted to check it out. They were telling me that it's a profile you load onto the Canon camera and it records in a log-like mode to allow for a bit more latitude in grading. If you work with it please let us know how well it works.

Obviously if you already own one there is an incentive to use it. Does the Canon handle low light better than the EX?

Me thinks it also masks the use of DSLRs which some networks take a dim view of, or only allow a small percentage of material to come from a DSLR.
