In PS, are you soft proofing? You'll find that proofing against monitor RGB (calibrated profile) will deliver an accurate result. In ACDSee, you can also use the calibrated profile - go to Tools | Options | Colour Management (input/output profiles). Keep in mind that Web Browsers don't understand colour management, hence the default system profile is used. I also regularly proof on another system for validation. For prints, I always do hard proofs as I find it hard to judge what the RIP is going to do to the images. Sometimes subtle boosts in a certain hue is required to deliver the desired accuracy. Depends on how critical you want to be.
