Spyder3 and PrintFix Pro 2+3 builds profiles at least equal to the Xrite's EyeOne that costs about 3 times as much. There is no 
way that Xrite would build the Munki to produce profiles equal to the EyeOne as that would undercut EyeOne sales.

Also the design of the Munki looks like light would leak in from the side while calibrating monitors.

The Munki doesn't impress...least it's name.
