Sorry for the delay in replying, but AFAIK Mac profiles ARE the same as 
Windows profiles except for the .icc that Apple uses and the .icm that 
Microsoft uses. Both should work on either OS, whatever the extension. Using 
Adobe's CMM  (in Photoshop) on a Mac or Windows should give the same result, 
but Apple's Colorsync CMM is the 'fly in the ointment' as it seems to refuse 
to take a background role in color management as Windows ICM does. I've 
never used a Mac, but I've read a lot about the problems in printing from 
one on Apple's ColorSync list.

But if you know different reasons, I would like to hear them.

"No casts with my Windows setups and the same paper profiles."

Mac profiles are not the same as PC profiles.  The Epson site has profiles 
for Macs, and others for PCs.

There must be a difference in the two if Epson offers both!
