I'm similarly afflicted and I went through a similar process, but in the end
I just preffered the results and simplicity of Vuescan. I also found I had
some serious noise problems in some Silverfast scans that didn't seem nearly
as bad in Vuescan. I am pretty certain digital cameras are not individually
calibrated but many of these manage realistic colour.

I tend to use numbers to check the colour balance (and sometimes my daughter
is final colour control)

P.S. When I did Art 'O' level the examiner commented "Interesting use of
colour!"
