And LW 7.5 has the same preset.

A lot of the trick to having metal look right is having something for the metal to reflect.
A lot of people put presets on without giving the surfaces anything to reflect.
A limited set or background image is all you need.

I have used that approach of things in the scene to reflect and/or a BG image.
