Exactly.  That's what I have now.   They are both Lab, L* based and
not only are they the same they match the human eye the best.

You may be getting the same effect using dot gain 20% for both.  I'm not
as sure about the math of dot gain though.  The dot gain 20% tells
you how the midpoint is affected -- 50+20 = 70 but I'm not sure how
you should calculate all the other points.
