The slider won't help you because it specifies the blending percentage 
when you specify two different curves, and you've specified only one 
curve (albeit twice).  You might as well specify "none" for the 
right-side curve and a blend of 100%.

Typically, when blending, one might use a warm curve and a cool curve 
together, and blend in enough cool to get neutral.  However, if you're 
using only a cool curve and already getting something too warm I'm not 
sure what to recommend.
