Digital BW, The Print

You can also do the custom gray space soft proof thingy by eye, and
for free. Also, I imagine there are plenty of members on this list
with an EyeOne that would be happy to linearize your QTR output, and
make you a preview profile. Worth asking, might have to pay some small
fee.
Or, if you work in Roy's custom LAB gray space, you may get a very
good match without any softproof method at all. Or, perhaps you can
use Roy's LAB space as the softproof space. Roy?
