And temp control. Going to make a 1.5l starter for 5 gallons of 1.078 wort.

White labs says ideal temp is 68-72F, but I've seen many different profiles espoused on the web.

To maximize spice character and attenuation, what is the udeal temp profile? I am able to control my temp to within .5F

I was thinking pitch at 64 and set the temp to cap it at 68, leave it there for a week then raise it to 70 to complete.

Is this too cold for too long? Note that I'm not controlling ambient, but actual beer temps.

That sounds about like what I would do. If you want the clove/spice flavor to come through definitely keep it on the low end of the range. If it gets high it may kick off some banana flavors. I would keep it at 68 for 4 or so days and then just let it rise up to 72 or so to finish out. Thats just my $0.02.
