No, but I've got a Kodak graycard and an i1 Pro. I don't remember how to create 
.sp files, but, if you'd care to enlighten me, I'd be happy to oblige....

I've measured it in the past. It's a surprisingly good neutral target. The 
spectrum is quite flat, and the Lab values are all within one unit of 50-0-0. 
All in all, it's the best bang for the buck for gray balancing. It's amply 
``good enough'' for everything but colorimetric accuracy...and, when you need 
colorimetric accuracy, you need to be using a color-managed workflow in which 
the gray balance is only used for the initial RAW conversion.

Cheers,
