Matt,
That's not so difficult to test. Define some spot colors in InDesign in Lab
mode. Watch how they appear in Lab. Convert to CMYK and watch the
difference. Do the same in Photoshop (or start in Photoshop). The point is
use some very saturated spot colors and some not too saturated and see what
happens to the two, once converted, and you should have your answer.
