Anyone interested in a cheaper method, and one that works with a easy to get, and inexpensive Beseler Color Analyzer- get in touch with me! If the thought of using a probe offends your sensibilities (ah, Geez! I'm gettin' all misty!) contact Mark Rabiner- he has a system that does pretty much the same using a couple of test prints in a sort of matrix.. Even $300 bucks is a lot to spend for what amounts to a relatively simple solution for a relatively simple problem!
