Default OT - Different tones from Camera Raw to Photoshop CS5

Hi everyone!

Sorry to disturb the group for a Photoshop problem which I couldn't resolve
in the proper forum. I'm hoping that someone here might be able to help me.

I've searched for a solution everywhere, but can't find any. The "Help file
in Photoshop or Camera Raw doesn't seem to address this problem. I've
pre-ordered a book (Scott Kelby's), but it's only coming out at the end of
the month.

My Problem:
When I'm in Camera Raw, colours have a certain tone and vividness.
When I open the same photo in Photoshop from Camera Raw, it's not quite the
same, maybe a bit lighter...

Where I'm at:
Camera Raw is set at: Adobe RGB 1998.
Photoshop is set at: Adobe RGB 1998, US web coated (SWOPO) v2, dot gain gray
20%, dot gain spot 20%, RGB, CMYK, gray, OFF.
I'm also using Spyder3 Pro.
Should I set Photoshop to "Monitor RGB, etc." (the same profile as my
screen - LG)? Or should I leave it to Adobe RGB?
When I print from Photoshop, I use "Photoshop manages colour" and use as
printer profile the same as my screen- LG. I also use "relative
colorimetric".

Any suggestions, please?

Thanks.

Marcel
