Used basic profiling mode (no characterization before profiling) on the 30".
Then, using the white luminance, matched the 23". This took 2 tries. First try was way too bright. Turns out, shooting for about 2 cd/m^2 above the target, and having the profile tone it down (due to gamut compression in the luminance axis) hit just about perfectly, maybe low by about a candela. Pretty good for eyeballing the starting point.
The profile has done weird things to the 23". I think ir broke the font AA or something, because everything looks blocky.
Still really want that Eizo, thought can't entirely justify it right now on technical grounds...still...
Print-matching is still an issue, but I have yet to try tuning the output profile by hand, basically by either making the monitor's gamma compress the dark regions, or by lightening up the print. This might be a reasonable argument for the eizo, if I can get that far. Turns out the Ilford GSP profiles are pretty good; they lighten up the print without destroying the dense regions of the image. Requires more investigation...
