you are correct, the Pulse was discontinued in Dec'06. That said 
they have stated that they will be offering support for 7 years, and 
an aggressive upgrade path should parts become obsolete during this 
time. I had my Pulse repaired only 2 weeks ago, very fast and 
efficient service, and under warranty, so you won't see me complain 
about the situation. Also as you've noted, there are some very 
attractive prices just at the moment while they clear there stock. 
Basically I don't regret at all my choice to purchase 2 years ago 
when it was released, and I enjoy using it very much, and anticipate 
many more years service from it. I don't feel that I have to upgrade 
on an annual basis; it does everything that I want, and I anticipate 
it out living me, so a thumbs up from me. When I spoke to X-Rite 
last week, they did mention the worldwide sales of the eye1 
as being one of the factors that swayed them to go with that 
approach, but I guess we will never know the truth, but I suspect 
the sales and marketing boys called the ball due to the morphing
possibility of the system. I didn't need all of that when I 
purchased and I don't need it now.

just my 2 cents for what it's worth, I think you'll enjoy whatever
you go with,

The notion of creating my own curves for QTR is new for me. But I
want to give it a shot. At the same time, I feel I have reached the
limit of the capabilities of scanner based Monaco EZ Color for 
general color print profile generation.

It appears that the newly merged X-Rite with GretagMacbeth has taken
the Pulse package off the market. All of the current offerings are
much more expensive.

I have found a couple dealers who still stock the Pulse at a
reasonable price. I am looking for some guidance here. Should I buy
this apparently discontinued product, and is it really the best
moderately priced tool for my two stated purposes?

Thank You.
