Are you looking to make color profiles? The Eye-One spectrophotometer is an
excellent piece of hardware, so the Eye-One Photo package is probably the
one you want. I have an older version, which did a pretty good job for me,
but didn't have any profile editing capability. However, I see that the
current version does.

If you're interested primarily in B&W (this being the QTR list), it would
seem to me that a $1400 spectrophotometer is overkill. A densitometer is
enough for linearizing B&W curves, and any inexpensive single-shot
colorimeter like an old ColorMouse ought to be enough for measuring the
toning, since QTR includes its own curve-building software.
