I use adobe rather than sRGB, just because it's my preferred space for color
work. There are subtle differences between the two, but nothing major.
However, I recommend you print a 21step wedge each way to see for yourself,
what I consider minor someone else may consider major.

In another post someone spoke of updated curves. In the case where the
curves for one platform are not as far developed as those of the other
platform (i.e. Mac vs PC) I am finding that, at least on my Mac & 1160, the
PC curves work great. I ran out of ink in my 1270 so I can't say, but as the
Mac curves are at version 6, and the PC curves are at version 11, I'd give
the PC curves a try even on a Mac. Worst case scenario you might need to
make a gamma adjustment to the file, or on the master channel of the curve,
but for my 1160 even that wasn't necessary.
