It will be interesting to learn how you get on with it!.
Mine is proving to be a nightmare trying to get auto-focus settings right, and compared to my 50D and 1d mk111 keeper rate is at an all time low. I'm so frustrated with it!!!

For what it's worth falconer2406 mine is set up as follows:

I was not going to use so I made the following adjustments to it.

Tracking - minus as far as it will go

Accel./Decel - plus as far as it will go

AF pt auto switching - plus as far as it will go

I can't remember exactly but I may have seen this setup on one of Art Morris' videos - either way it seems to work well so far.
