It's likely I have no idea what I am doing. I've used "verify profile" in dispcalGUI to check the accuracy of the profiles I've made with it. For the curves+matrix profile, I get deltaE of 3.84 average and 8.16 max. Subjectively, reds look quite orange (I realize that eyeballing is not really a measurement, but we're talking about a stop sign turning into a pumpkin). For the LUT profile, I get deltaE results of 0.48 and 1.39. Subjectively, everything looks as I'd expect. The main problem is the usual problem with LUT profiles, compatibility. I get really ugly banding in Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop. The matrix profile from i1Profiler looks extremely similar to the LUT profile from ArgyllCMS but without the banding. I don't know to run a report to measure its accuracy, but it's within the same ballpark. Report for Curves+Matrix profile: http://flic.kr/p/dvQn1D Report for LUT profile: http://flic.kr/p/dvQn2K I don't know the incantation to generate this sort of report for the matrix profile from i1Profiler. Profiling for matrix shows a very different gamut than for LUT.
