Bruce, sorry... I sent the message when I noticed that sale.
There are two classes of the calibrators:
1) colorimeters and 2) spectrometers.
ColorMunki Display, i1 Pro, ... are colorimeters,
I vaguely remember seeing that Spyder 4 (Pro?) is also a colorimeter,
while Spyder 3 was a spectrometer.
IRC, coloremeters used to be a bit more expensive.
I don't remember all the details of the difference between the two
classes, but I remember that I concluded for myself that for my needs a
spectrometer was a bit more suitable.

That promo appears to have ended. I get $144 for that after rebate.
The Datacolor Spyder4PRO is $129 and it's a good one too. Special until
Dec 23.
I've been using the Spyder3 Pro for a few years. I hope it will work
with the iMac 5K Retina display or I will be hunting for new
calibrator myself shortly.

I've been using this product for 2 or 3 years. It works great for
calibration. But it has a problem under Windows 7 on laptops with Intel
video card . Essentially Windows 7 overwrites ColorMunki's calibration when
it wakes up from suspend/sleep. There is a work-around to disable some
Windows service that (among other things) memorizes settings for different
external outputs (monitors, projectors, etc.)
See e.g.
