I have no experience with low-quality settings. I think most people go for medium to good quality, and then they often adjust the settings to their preferences, models and materials, by trial and error, for a better quality.
I would suggest you try the same model in 0.1mm layer height, 25mm/s print speed, 195°C nozzle temp, 60°C bed temp. And see what that gives? That should be quite good quality, similar to the photos on the website you mentioned. Or even better: try a smaller testmodel first with various settings, before doing a big model? This will let you gain more experience in a shorter time.
It's very hard to see in the photos and on a black model, but the underside seems to be a little rough. So I think your nozzle might be a little bit too far away from the glass. When printing the skirt (=outline around the object), inspect how thin the first layer is, and maybe try adjusting the three screws for bed calibration a little bit closer (I don't know by head in which direction, you need to look that up). I my models, the underside is normally quite flat and really glossy.

S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
