Again, the ultimate test in my mind isn't looking at the file, it's looking
at the output. I'm more than willing to look at any output of various
Working Spaces and change my mind. But so far, the differences are not
enough to drag anyone but color geeks into the mind boggling number of
discussions that have transpired since Photoshop 5 shipped with a room full
of Working Spaces to pick. I think it's an interesting discussion but would
hate to see some of the newer color management users stressing over what
they might feel is a life altering decision (what working space to use). So
far, this discussion is up there with how many ICC profiles can fit on the
head of a pin.

Thanks for that Andrew, what you said was exactly what all my experience has
indicated, however in the presence of such experts I was not confident enough
to suggest.
In fact as the discussion grew I was begininig to beleive I must have missed
something fundamental in my earlier reading.
Thanks for the reality check,
In fairness to Don, the Fuji, while it has a fairly large gamut,
doesn't go anywhere near as far into the yellows and oranges as a
good sheetfed press, and it also is a tad lacking in saturated
greens. If you compare the Fuji profile with Thomas Knoll's US
Sheetfed Coated v2 in ColorThink, you'll see the fairly obvious
mismatch. If you then overlay Adobe and Don or Best RGB, you'll see
that these are exactly the areas that Don and Best include and that
Adobe clips.
To do this test right, you really need to buy an expensive print run...
