Maybe it's my old(er) eyes, but I find that my raws and jpegs match up pretty nice in LR when I use the appropriate import preset that is automatically applied to my raw files upon import.

The latest version of Lightroom 6 and Lightroom CC handles the XT2 files.  I think it does a great job!  Plus, proper use of the camera calibration and the RAWs come in looking almost identical to the JPEGs.
