Just keep in mind that the main reason to use RAW files is _not_ to reproduce the in-camera jpegs (if it was, why bother). That's not to say that it shouldn't be possible, but quite often you can do better than in-camera jpeg (esp. wrt highlights and sharpening). A large part of the treatment depends on taste. For instance, I quite often use the Leica-like basecurve, instead of the automatically selected Sony-like. That gets me a darker image, with less blown highlights (the Sony-like curve, like some others, is _very_ flat at the right side, so less visible detail in e.g. clouds). If that makes the shadows too dark, exposure fusion, tone curve, etc. correct that. And I often prefer a slightly darker image than the default jpeg gives me, anyway. So, for me, reproducing the in-camera jpeg would at best be a starting point.
