I'd avoid the lower cost units, Quality Control suffers once you go below iOne Display prices.

Both systems you mention have good reputations, I'd also look at the basICColor Squid with Display SW. - I'd better say that I import the Squid so that I can't be accused of bias. But, why do I import it? Because it was a real pain for clients to order single units from Germany and they wanted to do that because it comes with the best software. basICColor Display. basICColor Display SW can also be used as an upgrade for iOne Display owners. I can also supply the difficult to find eyeOne Monitor Spectrophotometer, which, price-wise, falls between Display (colorimeter) and iOne photo (Spectrophotometer). (Gretag discontinued direct sales on iOne Monitor, basICColor still sell it). If you are matching multiple screens there are very good arguments why you need a spectrophotometer to do it. For more detail ask me off-list please.
