Is it worthwhile calibrating a RAW converter or is this just a hip subject ? 

For all my RAW conversions I use ACR since I love Lightroom. ACR gave me very good colours for my Olympus system, but horrible reds with my Canon setup (more red-orange). Therefore I made a few test shots of the "Munsell Colorchecker Mini" card and run "ACR calibrator L". The minimal colour delta was reported for these values:

Red Hue: -16, Red Sat: 20
Green Hue: -8, Green Sat: -4
Blue Hue: -2, Blue Sat: -4

Adding these parameters to the "Calibration" tab in ACR adjusts automatically the default ACR settings. Is it worth the effort ? Yes, I think so !
