Here's my roundabout way of thinking.

Sly wondered if Audiophile was worth it compared to regular version.
Then said he wasn't concerned how it sounded on his system, just on his customers.
He also mentioned working on little computer speakers.
If he can't hear the difference in the two, he can't make a mix worthy of supporting the better format. You can't mix what you can't hear.

So, the suggestion was to improve the listening environment with money saved by getting the regular version. That was the point (I think) Mac and I were both making. Not whether he could end up with a good mix by trying it, listening on a few systems, adjusting, listening on a few systems, etc etc. But rather getting monitors that were easier to learn. After doing the above routine a few times with decent monitors it becomes easier and then intuitive.
Trying to do it when you can't hear a lot of the nuances and then testing repeatedly consumes time. You still need to do it, but many less times once you can learn your monitors. (and can then Trust Your Ears)
Monitors are a good investment. A couple hundred bucks might make a huge difference.
