The word is that the profile building algorithms are identical. Pro
has more user options to screw up in the process, and will accept any
chart, supplied or custom made. It can also be used with a wide
variety of devices. Photo comes with 2 RGB charts, one small, one
large, and I haven't seen a way to trick it into taking anything else
though it may be possible.
So, assuming you like Gretag results and standard charts will work for
you, Pro offers no benifits for straight and simple RGB printer profiling.
