Samsung NX300 vs NX500 - similar color response?

I know the two are using different sensors, and I'd like to ask if anyone has owned both and could comment on whether the colors out of camera as well as in Lightroom between the two are similar enough.

I valued my NX300M for excellent auto white balance and very nice skin tones.  Ended up selling it a while ago locally, but I'm considering picking up another in the future with a 30mm pancake.  What I'd like to know is whether I'd get the output I'm familiar with out of the newer NX500.  Since Samsung offered Lightroom with every camera, it seemed like they had a very good relationship worked out with Adobe to result in pretty faithful default color representation by default in Lightroom.  Colors were pretty accurate too in general.  I wonder if NX500 is similar or whether the new sensor and also the new JPEG engine have changed significantly.  Is the Lightroom support still as good?
