Supports can always be a bit of an issue with complicated shapes. There are more support options in Cura 1.99 and i find support roof of 80% can give a really nice finish but this normally only helps on flat surfaces.
I would recommend using a smaller nozzle size like .25 as this makes supports a whole lot easier to remove as it is finer strands. being smaller the print time is longer but you can speed up the print speed a bit and you can keep the .1mm layer height a the 3 x shell thickness ( 0.75mm ), so overall the time is not effected to much.
another option is to use supports generated by mesh mixer. it has a different approach and you can add and remove where you think its needed.

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
