Apple themselves recommend no longer using so-called Mac gamma (1.8). It's generally considered best practice to use 2.2 gamma now for all workstations and monitors. This comes from a few webinars I've attended on colour workflows by both the Munki and Spyder folks.
Don't forget to reduce the monitor brightness quite a bit before calibrating. And I don't think you'll ever get a colour match between two monitors. I think you need to choose your One Best Monitor For Editing and stick with that one. Put the Ps & Lr menus on the other one.
