I'm on a Mac with an 870 and the new curves are definitely better than the old ones 
(ver. 6). All curves are much smoother, especially in the 70-100% range. I would say 
that the cool curve is perfect; the neutral curve is almost perfect, but it has a small 
bit of banding at about the 70-75% tone; the nw curve has a little bump around the 
45%, and another around 75-80%, and still another around 85-90%; and the warm 
curve is a little worse (but still much better than the old curve), especially around 
45%, 70-75%, and 80-85%. 

Overall the curves are smoother, the color is relatively evenly spaced from cool to 
warm, and the separation, particularly in the 90-100% range is more even than 
before. Tyler's Zees look better... now I can see the next to last darkest Z against its 
background.

Paul, thank you!
