actually, that is precisely what the question was. i posted it. 
here it is again.

-------------------------------------------
when building curves in Photoshop for UT2/UT7 etc.. everyone seems to 
be working in RGB vs. CMYK.
does RGB have an advantage over CMYK (excluding file size)?
-------------------------------------------

 i was referring to the application of RGB/CMYK curves only for 
printing purposes, not asking if working in CMYK is better/worse.
 UT2/UT7 are for B&W printing. they are not "color" inks so to say. i 
was inquiring as to WHY some (or most all) choose to apply RGB curves 
after all editing is done & before printing (as opposed to CMYK). 
 this post cleared it up and answered my question.
