Well, I've only got the Eye-One Design, which only includes the ``Easy'' 45-patch charts. But I /can/ compare it to the Canon profiles. The Canon grays are noticeably warm in the midtones, though they tend to be more neutral in the shadows. The Argyll profile is neutral throughout. The shadows and highlights definitely block with the Canon profiles, but you get plenty of detail with the Argyll profile.
This is with Canon ink and Canon paper, so there's no excuse, really. Holds true for both their Pro Glossy and the Matte.

I don't think there is. Fine by me--I'd just as soon get the profile done in a matter of minutes rather than hours!

Um...the default. That's what I'll play with next, as I suspect that it could stand to be increased just a tad. (There're some artifacts in a Grainger Rainbow.)

I don't remember exactly, but I think the peak was somewhere around two or three or so, and the average something under 1. I'll have to pay more attention next time....
