I was in a hurry and just doing a quick test. So I used the scanner based option in Profiler Pro, same as Profiler RGB to my 
knowledge. Only problem was the test was with Archival Matte (sometimes I use it for proofing) which nearly glows in the 
dark and sets off geiger counters. So my scanner couldn't read above about 5% on that paper. The spectro would have 
worked much better I'm sure. But I wonder now if the really affordable profilers like WiziWIG or EZcolor would help people 
with quad RGB soft proofing, they may choke on it though. Obviously Profiler RGB would work. Even though it wasn't perfect, 
it helped me build some pretty good RGB curves in about 5 minutes.
Dan's pdf about all this should be uploaded to the files section here. For those who want to work in RGB, and have profiling 
ability, it's very useful.
