I tend to agree with tanstaafl; equalisation seems highly dependent on the ear of the listener. Tony sort of chimes in when he mentiones calibrating for the idiosyncracies of a mic -- which is effectively the "ear" used for auto-equalisation.

Remember -- unless you're competing it's what YOU hear that counts, not what a tuning mic hears. This is what equalisation presets are all about: letting you take the time to tune the settings to account for specific cirmstances and then allowing you to quickly/easily recall those settings "on the fly".
