I convert colours from CMYK to Pantone and back all the time using Photoshop's colour picker.
Sure you can check it with a swatch book, but Photoshop generally gets this right.
Although I remember in earlier versions of Photoshop it was buggy.
At one stage there was a coding error in Photoshop and it was using the values from sRGB to pick the closest Pantone colour even if an image was aRGB, or something similar.
Yeah, a spot colour or two on top of CMYK is done all the time down here.
