Adobe PMS-CMYK Conversions

I¹ve come across a curiousity that I¹m hoping someone can help me with. I¹ve
noticed that if I create a PMS spot color (say 295 Coated) in Illustrator
10.0.3, InDesign 2.02 and Photoshop 7.0.1 and then convert that spot color
to CMYK process, I get different results ­ quite different...

for PMS 295C
Illustrator 10.0.3 = 100c 57m 0y 40k
InDesign 2.0.2 = 100c 57m 0y 40k
Photoshop 7.0.1 = 96c 70m 13y 35k

Illustrator and InDesign always share the same CMYK values of what a PMS
spot should be, but Photoshop is always different. I¹ve heard from pre-press
friends of mine that PMS spot to CMYK process conversions should always be
done in Photoshop because it is the most accurate.

Does anyone have any info they can share about this?

One other thing I¹ve noticed is that Photoshop will show a value difference
between coated and uncoated PMS spots, while Illustrator and InDesign do
not. Again, any help/info would be appreciated.

for PMS 295U
Illustrator 10.0.3 = 100c 57m 0y 40k
InDesign 2.0.2 = 100c 57m 0y 40k
Photoshop 7.0.1 = 84c 63m 22y 14k

Thanks
