The curves are about the same.  The main addition is the cool curve,
UT11-C+3.  The inkset is unchanged.

One thing I've done is add a number to indicate how my X-Rite
spectrophotometer (densitometer) reads the coolness or warmth.  So, for
example, the "C+3" means that the print with the UT inkset on EAM/EEM will
produce a print that has a midtone reading with the cyan 0.03 units more
than the yellow reading.

The old "wn1" curve is essentially the same as the "MW-3."  This curve
produces an EEM print with a midtone reading with cyan 0.03 units less than
the yellow reading.

I'm trying to give more accuracy to the labels.  I have made some curves
that I use that have different degrees of coolness or warmth, and this is a
more precise way for me to keep track of the curves/tones.

"The new curves produce 4 very useful tones.  The "UT11-N1" is
neutral, similar to a
"selenium" tone; "UT11-MW-3" is 0.03 units warm, similar to PiezoTone WN &
FS;
UT11-C+3 is 0.03 units cool, about like the old "nc" curve with the vm
inkset;
and UT11-W1 is 0.10 units warm, about twice as warm as the old vm inkset or
the original MIS quads. "
