BB, another thought. Do a handful of test shots in RAW. Then, use the in-camera raw processor to process them to your liking. You can tweak all of the same settings in the raw processing that you can set for jpegs - and then it will write jpegs for you. You can process any given raw file as many times as you want and it creates a jpeg. So, if you shoot a raw file and then process it a few different ways (and try to document what you did on each), then you can see which results you like the best. Then you just set the jpeg settings just as you did to process those raws. If you find one group of settings for bright light and maybe another for indoors, you could set them up on the C1 and C2 spaces on the mode dial...
Or you can just shoot test jpegs and change the settings as you go, but just shooting a single raw file and changing the processing seems like a more controlled way to get at what you're after. BTW, its not hard to do - I never ever use the in-camera processor but I tried it a couple of times just to see what it was like and its incredibly easy to do. You just pull up the raw shot in the image review mode and then there's a menu option for "raw conversion" - go into that and play with settings to your heart's content.
