I think this chart is well meaning http://www.brew.is/files/malt.html
But ultimately an incomplete picture.
I used CaraMunich II to substitute for a Briess Crystal 40 and wow, the flavor is all wrong. It's raisiny and fruity when I just wanted caramelly sweetness.
So my two cents is: beware substitutions based on Lovibond/EBC ratings!
