>>Not to be too much of a naysayer here, but none of these images, calibrated or not, seem quite right to me. I'd have to interject with specific manual edits on all of them.

The goal was not to process the images as I would choose, for the web, for various output, etc. But rather to preprocess them for optimal camera color. Doing that brings all images to a known and consistent state. I then correct for color temp (a separate thing from camera color) and exposure (those two items make up the SpyderCube step that follows the SpyderCheckr step), and from there may well choose to adjust for any number of other reasons. 

But the goal of this excercise was to compare the camera color, which requires paring this back to just that, not any of the following steps.
