Do yourself a favor and buy a copy of Steve Upton's ColorThink software.
There's also a lot of other good color goodies on his site and is worth
exploring.

I'd second that recommendation!
I'll let others speak for the others' spaces. I developed BruceRGB,
in 1997, for a very specific purpose -- editing imagery that would
fall apart in the considerably larger Adobe RGB. With today's capture
devices, that isn't an issue, but back when I did this, people had
legacy imagery, edited on uncalibrated systems, and captured on
scanners that delivered 6 good bits with a tailwind.
BruceRGB is designed to be an optimal trade-off between covering the
gamut of most output devices, and not wasting a lot of bits on colors
you can't print. Nowadays I generally use it only for resurrecting
fairly seriously degraded legacy images, and for the occasional
repurposing of CMYK files for which no RGB original is available.
