Yes, both setups  work fine, but which one you go with will affect the
profiles.

I'd say the standard arrangement is to use M (18%) and LM (6%) in the LK
and LLK positions.  What happened with the original Carbon-6 formula,
however, which was different than the Eb6 mixing, is that the lighter C6-M
in the LK position caused the shadows to go flat.  Putting C6-C in that
position took care  of the problem.  Now that I switched my recommended C6
mixing to coincide with Eb6, that issue has disappeared.

I suspect the profiles I make for my 7800 Eb6+HP LK & LLK are going to be
closer to a full K3 Eb6 arrangement that uses the M and LM in the LK and
LLK positions.

Hope this helps.
