I have done this for two clients to date...the giclees have been well received, although the set up cost can be high for the client who only wants one or two. I feel at this point that I would do this for pastel clients, but not for oil...the pastel reproduction are so incredible you really have to touch the surface to see if it will rub off...to date the oil giclees just don't seem to carry the patina, or whatever the subtleties are that make original oils what they are.

I have a couple of matted/framed pastel gicless that I use for display (and don't worry about handling, loss,damage, etc)...they really convey exactly what someone can expect from an original pastel.
