on screen differences between profile conversion & soft proofing

[stuck]

I use Adobe RGB as my working colour space, it works well in conjunction with my Adobe RGB capable monitor.  If I want to share an image then I use Document | Convert... and pick sRGB IEC61966-2.1.  I don't often see much of a change in the image.  So far so simple.

Today though converting the profile of a panorama in this way makes the image much more contrasty.  However, if I simulate the conversion from Adobe RGB to sRGB by adding a soft proof adjustment layer with a proof profile of sRGB IEC61966-2.1 then the image does not become more contrasty.

Am I wrong to expect a soft proof layer set to sRGB to have the same effect on screen as using Document | Convert... to sRGB?

Any wisdom much appreciated.

EDITED TO ADD:  It doesn't matter what rendering intent I set for the conversion and the soft proof layer.

Obsolete.

Hmm, yes, using the sRGB v2 profile (sRGB2014.icc) does seem to help.

Thank you!
