Schmalle

Yes, that's possible by recording a sweep or an impulse. But I will stay away from sharing these since Thomas Blug took great effort to craft these impulses.
I might start a thread in this forum with audio clips for comparison. I could also document my attempts to tweak the HxStomps stock cabs with eq to match one or two of the BluBox cabs. Also the mic position knob on it is very musical and effective in dialing in the right amout of high frequency content. I could investigate (measure) how to replicate that in the HxStomp, too.
Let me know if that would be of any interest to you guys!

I’ve had my Helix Floor for about 2 weeks now. While I like it I’ve found that all the presets and even ones I’ve created or downloaded all sound a little honky and not open enough like they are compressed and lack any highs or treble. I am listening through my computer through Logic and am using a Monster cable. I have read some about the Global EQ although that doesn’t really fix anything yet. Any suggestions?

I'm currently in the middle of testing the Hx Stomp for myself.

Let me start with stating that the amp models are very accurate. I've tested several ones against Fractal amp models and some real amps. The amps are not the issue.

I've also compared the cab models against those of my BluGuitar BluBox (an excellent IR speaker emulator) and found that the Hx Stomp cabs lack air  (high frequency content) and overly pronounce certain frequencies depending on the mics one uses. It's pretty hard to get rid of that baked in mic sound.
That said: in a mix that might actually be the sound you're after. Also be aware of the Fletcher Munson Effect (listening at different volumes to the same source material sounds dramatically different): Dull and mid heavy might at low volumes might sound just right at stage volumes.

My conclusions have been gathered used Neuman KH120A studio monitors and Beyerdynamics DT770 headphones.

I'd guess that dark horse thing is some kind of profiling. Like Fractal Audios realtime analyzer block or something...

The obvious point to start are the preamp versions of the Solo Lead or the amp sims with master/sag/presence at 2.
Keep in mind that the cab makes up for a huge part of the sound. If you still have the podxt you can play the hxstomp with only the amp sim on into the podxt with only the cab sim on and vice versa.This way you can match the amp and cab one at a time in isolation.

I would love the option to reverse polarity on an FX loop block. I have a pedal in the FX loop that reverses phase, and im running it on path B (and inversing the polarity in the mixer) which allows me to run a wet/dry setup with no phasing issues... but I'd love to be able to do this without running separate paths.

+1 for phase inversion option. I'd imagine it to be an option on the gain block.

I have a good strategy against fear of obsolescence:

Take the manual and go to the pages where the amps, fx etc. are listed. Then take one item of this list that you are curious about. Start a web search and find out what the real world device does, how it is supposed to be used and how players use it in real life. Then take your guitar and Helix device and start experimenting.
When you're done think about how good the real device is modeled and how easy and without spending extra money or purchasing time you could achieve these results. 
Then take a pencil and check off that item from the list. The next day you can pick another and start again.

This will help you appreciate / focus on what you have instead of what you don't have.

As a side effect your patch creating skills, your understanding of tone tools and signal paths as well as you ear will improve.

These three spectacular amps that would broaden the sonic palette:

Bogner Shiva clean channel - Beautiful cleans and plexi crunch sounds

Fryette Deliverance 120 MKII - Ultra versatile amp that stays open and articulate no matter what

Two-Rock Jet 35 - Dumble-style amp with a unique tone - very vocal / violin like with exceptional transmission of the pick attack

Let me chime in here. Your clip sounds like a Mark 4 sound.
Use the Cali IV Lead with following settings as starting point:

LdGain 6

LdDrive 10

Bass 0.5

Mid 2.5

Treble 7

Presence 5

Master 3.7

Sag 1.5

80Hz 3

240Hz 3

750Hz -9

2200Hz 3

6600Hz 3

4x12Cail V30

Mic 160 Ribn

Distance 3.0"

Add a Tube Screamer in front with Drive @ 0, Tone 6, Level 8 for over the top lead gain.

Play with the 80 240 750 2200 6600 settings to find out what these do to the sound. Also try increasing the LdGain while lowering Bass and Mid to compensate so it does not get muddy.
