Well I need the CM s/w to make profiles too, although at the moment I'm using a limited range of papers. I'm not Mac so can't help you with your setup, but my initial reaction (purely visual) was that the CM with Basicolor produced a better profile than the Eye 1 with Basicolor, and Andrew and other CM adherents seem to confirm this. Perhaps X-Rite will do a little work to refine their sw, sooner rather than later.
