We do a lot of fine art reproduction and when we print we have access to the original. Most of the time the file comes from a digital camera, and the reproduction has nearly the same color as the original. We have no problems printing in sizes up to 1 meter.
Sometimes we get a chrome and it is much harder to get the colors right. We scan on an Imacon and we use a profile that is tested to be within DeltaE3 from the target values. So we are pretty sure that the scan has captured the colors in the chrome.

The Betterlight does much better, of course, but as you noted the exposure times are extremely long. The required illumination levels are also too high for delicate originals. This leaves you with using a smaller, instant-capture back and photographing in sections, or simply using 4x5 or 8x10 film (Kodak EPY tungsten recommended) and scanning the film. The latter has the advantage of a high quality, low initial investment, and the ability to use safe levels of lighting (including use of diffused lighting) and short exposures.
