Why don't you use the Autodesk character generator. It gives full-body and also a nice facial setup with all of the morphs in place.
I use one in this tutorial series and rig the body with full IK and FK setups using a plugin off creativecrash. Fastest I have put together a rig to this date is 6 mins. But I had the control curves in place from doing it previously.
