Yes
With the demise of Kodachrome, I've been trying out some alternatives and I would have to agree with Kodak in that Ektachrome E100G is pretty close as far as the tones go. This is E100G through my Xpan:

It's difficult, Kodachrome was unique. For me the biggest and most noticeable difference is in the greens, Kodachrome had a very Yellow rendition of greens K64 could make green grass look as if it hadn't been watered. Ektachrome also has a cooler shadow but its been years since I shot them side by side.
BTW Yes your results are very good-shoot film!
Here is a typical Kodachrome green grass.

I know what you mean about the greens mark, that's what's hard to find on other films, I was thinking of picking up some 100G,I Need to wait till after Christmas for funds though.
 
I would certainly recommend the e100g. Definitely a film that I am very happy with having shot k64 since about 1980!
