Anyone have an xorg mouse acceleration profile that is close to Win7?

Full disclosure I'm using Fedora but have a base install with only X11 and icewm (arch has better wiki). I'm trying to configure everything through the xserver. Right now I'm using the settings that are supposed to disable mouse acceleration completely found here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mouse_acceleration

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mouse-acceleration.conf
Section "InputClass"
	Identifier "My Mouse"
	MatchIsPointer "yes"
	Option "AccelerationProfile" "-1"
	Option "AccelerationScheme" "none"
EndSection

It's better than what it was with no configuration file (evdev defaults?) but I think I would like to tweak it a little. Since I'm most used to Windows mouse acceleration I was wondering if anybody knew of settings close to that I could use?

See spec - can be tweaked on-the-fly with xinput.

Well since there are many variables to contend with, I thought I might try asking for some sane defaults first that were comparable to those on Windows. I've tried configuring mouse acceleration before via 3rd party drivers and always have to rely on trial and error which is not very productive. That's why I just decided to disable everything as a baseline.
