I ran over to my copy of PSP 7, and tested some ("Convert to B&W Pro" 
works in it btw, you just need to enable PhotoShop plugins in the prefs 
, add whatever folder it is installed to and enable it to include  
subfolders when it searches ):

First,  under the "Color Filters" option of the "Filters Unlimited"  
filter pack / filter management tool is one called "Greyscale" with user 
settable options,  under "Colors" is one called

http://www.icnet.de/filters_unlimited/index.html

I HEARTILY recommend the tool,  it's gotten my filters under control..


Then, there is one called "Weighed Greyscale"  as part of the "Unplugged 
Package" at:

http://www.v-d-l.com/up.html

make sure you use the "Photoshop Compatible" link..

The standard PhotoShop version link can be imported into Filters 
Unlimited if you decide to use that package...



Next:

The Grey Filter in "ColurWorks"

http://www.cybia.co.uk/colour.htm

again I load it as part of Filters Unlimited



And:

"Cytopia's"  "PhotoOptics" set contains, an AWESOME  Monochrome filter:

A great one is part of "nik Multimedia's"   "Color Efex" filters:

And there's the completely free "Xero"  "Greyscaler" at:
http://www.croaghross.com/itsatheory/xero/home.cgi


That gives you a bunch of options..
