Tyler,

I stick with the simplest possible: Scan in RGB, tweak in RGB while a gray 
setup matching the paper output is loaded, drop to grayscale and go to the 
piezo setup on the 1160/CIS.
Dropping to grayscale at the last minute insures that PS does all the dirty work 
to make sure that what I see in RGB exactly matches the print. Assuming of 
course that I did all the heavy lifting in the first place and created an accurate 
gray setup.
Simple. It works. I print. Out come beautiful piezo prints. I don't even use any 
of all this heavy machinery we have been talking about. But then again, I am 
"only" using piezoBW!
