I was at a recent event with industry experts and one gentleman who
is highly respected in the area uses Colormatch RGB because of the
large number of files created in Photoshop 4.0.
Also, if a file is given to a non-color managed company, the
Colormatch RGB image will survive a stripped out profile better in
general because it closely resembles the Mac monitor space. The
sacrifice is that bright blues and greens will be sacrificed a bit.,
which probably doesn't matter for offset printing, but might matter
when outputting to a Lightjet or other continuous tone process.
All the best!
