Guy,

Gretag, X-Rite and others have a proliferating explosion of new 
packages on the market.  I guess it depends on the features you want 
and need.  I have the Eye One with the full version of ProfileMaker 
5, which is an 800 pound gorilla (with a price tag to match).  

Most of the software packages differ in how many optional parameters 
you can set, the targets you can use, etc.  Any of the packages that 
provides a spectrophotometer (not a colorimeter) will work with 
IJC/OPM or QTR.  If your color profile generation needs are modest, 
you can probably buy something like the Eye One Photo package, or a 
similar package from X-Rite.  The less expensive software packages 
generally don't let you do CMYK profiles or offer full control, but 
you won't need that if you are only building RGB profiles using the 
Epson driver anyway.  

So, I think you have to research what is out there and balance that 
against your needs.  I know Gretag (and probably Xrite) allow you to 
add modules and upgrade as needed, so that might also be a good route 
to consider.  

Hope that helps some.
