You've done a more detailed analysis than I have, but my impression
from the self fit errors in the profile, and the shape of the per channel
curves being generated was, that a somewhat lower limit would make
for a more accurate profile at the expense of some gamut. Somewhere
between 70-80% may be a good place to start. While the dE to white
may be increasing, if it's severely flattened off it's not much good.
There's no point in making the profile highly inaccurate, to gain another
couple of deltaE of gamut size.
