I'm pretty sure E6 process here is much better controlled than C41.
The nature of slide is very different from negative, you may use a standard
profile for one film, I usually use a simple curve to reduce the blue of
Fuji RVP a little during scanning.
I believe you should start with a calibrated monitor first. After that if
you still have problem in matching the color of scan then you can consider
further tools.
