take a grey scale ramp, apply a lut, look at the parade. thing is, I'm not saying don't buy lattice or anything. that's not what this post is about. it's a great tool. but talking about features missing in resolve, those are all already in there
I found I had to use Grayscale Ramps
and full-screen color patches at different intensities in order to get a good feel as to what the LUT was doing. I should post a DRP when I get a chance, but basically I had RGB and YCM at 3 different levels (low / medium / high), then full-screen gray at a 6 different levels (black-20-40-60-80-100), and I looked at them on the Parade scope and the Vectorscope and said "AH... that's what the LUT is really doing." And then adjusted curves to recreate the look, over and over again.
There are some super-complex LUTs that do more, but a lot of the stock LUTs out there are not doing that much. I do own Lattice, but I would rather create the looks in Resolve, particularly when texture or a plug-in is part of that look. And again, Warper can do miracles in the right circumstances.
Juan Melara's now-infamous video that shows how he recreated the Linny LUTs (which I think was pulled off the net) demonstrates that if you really want to spend hours of work, you can dig and do damned near anything with Resolve, with a lot of work. Melara is an interesting guy to watch:
