I am very early on in this, but so far, using a Mac and ESFA, it's 
not very close. I am trying to eliminate as many variables as 
possible, as in, I'd like to arrive at a Magenta slider setting (I've 
just been using Zero), and then lock it down. And then arrive at a 
set Gamma (I've been using 2.2), and then lock it down. I have 
done NO transfer adjustments at all. Then, I'd say to pick ONE of 
the curve "looks", and then lock that down. 

Only then, I'd think, that you could start actually moving the points 
along the existing curves. But then, this gets into Paul's 
knowledge area, and over my head.

I know most people are using LegionMatte or EAM, but I'm still 
clinging to ESFA. But at some point, I guess I'd let that go if the 
black DMAX proved too low on this paper.

This is obviously still very much a work-in-progress, at least for 
the 7000, and the Mac. Yet, I'm still excited about eliminating the 
whole color-crossover factor, and with time, this will all come 
together.
