I always see that members in the HDS forums are very CRI-conscious. This is a bit old but certainly relevant and interesting. TM-30 uses far more colors and other factors in rating the quality of light. Here's a great one-page summary of the newer measuring system:

Wonder when we will see it in regular use instead of CRI. I have a Sekonic C-7000 and it's latest firmware provides for using the new system. Gonna play around a bit with it.

At least in Germany the Sekonic C-7000 is kind of expensive (>2000€). Therefore my guess is that there are not a lot people having this equipment.
The Sekonic C-7000 is quite interesting, but for this money I prefer to buy two BeCu Rotaries. That makes more fun, at least to me. I trust the measurements done by HDS regarding the CRI, and at least for me it doesn't matter if the "color rating" is in "old school" CRI.

But it would be interesting if you share your measurements with us.
