Andrew,
Agreed, after all is said and done there are inherent differences between printers which no amount of profiling will completely overcome; but I guess the point is that if the colour management is as consistent as possible, then you have more confidence in the presumption that differences between prints are really machine-related and not due to inconsistent colour management; and this is useful to know for people making purchasing decisions - there are always trade-offs with these machines so it is good to be able to match the hardware with one's taste, knowing one isn't likely being misled by colour management issues. That said, a number of these high-end machines I've personally seen in action seem to be delivering "pretty close" results.
Again, my comments aren't directed at Raw at all for reasons explained yesterday.

In terms of Raw?
In terms of a printer, that would only be useful and possible if they all
pretty much produced the same gamut and quality of prints. At least with my
testing, I see differences which make evaluating the units useful. I'm not
suggesting we don't profile them all, load the same paper and then print the
same images to test the qualities of each. I'm saying doing this doesn't
produce identical results because of the differences in say how a Canon and
an Epson print.
For Raw, I want to select the product that produces the best rendering
possible, I don't want, and I don't expect some ICC profile will make
Bibble, Aperture and ACR produce identical results. No more than I expect 3
different E6 films to be the same.
