I'm jumping into the middle of this conversation, but I wanted to
clarify something. I don't know if it will add to the discussion, but
I hope it will.

The Geoid is not a mathematical figure like an ellipsoid, so I don't
think you can really refer to "conversion" equations. A geoid is more
like a surface. The inconsistencies between geoid models doesn't come
from different equations/formulae, but from the amount of gravity
samples and other data used to create the model.

In this sense a Geoid is somewhat unique in the field of geodesy. It
is always possible to take more samples and build a better one. :]
