I think I would worry more about the Pulse going away than I would the
i1 spectro going away. I see many of the products merging in the near
future, but I won't speculate (since I don't have any concrete leads).

That said I have a Pulse + Optix system, and it is very good (highly
recommended). The i1 Photo is also highly recommended. Heidelberg
Prinect Profile Toolbox with the correct hardware would also be
recommended.

***DO NOT buy the i1 Design!!!!! Yes it is cheaper, but I wouldn't
claim that it really works (yes I also own that product too).***

The big thing is that color managment for B/W hasn't come as far as CM
for color has, so having an identical workflow for both color and B/W
may be more difficult (and expensive) depending on how you look at it,
and what you want to do.
