Is it worthwhile struggling with input profiles?

So, I use the “muted” or “natural” versions of my camera’s DCP from Adobe, but I only use the base and look tables, not the tone curve. This gives me something close to RT’s “neutral” profile, but with more accurate colors.

The ability to turn off the dcp tone curve in RT is a great feature and as you say, allows you to get more accurate colours. That, plus the ability to use the Exposure module tone curves in perceptual mode gives the best result colour-wise of anything I have tried to date.
