It also has another disadvantage based on being a real spectro:   as well as 
being heavy, its relatively fragile. One fall to the desk or floor, and its 
back to the manufacturer for recalibration. Not practical for training 
situations...

It gets good reviews from lots of the leading experts, and I've been 
impressed with what I've seen in the past. I'll be interested to try it with the 
Spyder2 hardware, when version 4 comes out soon, with Spyder support. One more 
flavor of monitor profiling to ponder.
