I don't really have an opinion which incorrect workflows might be less  
objectionable. The base issue is that many cards that offer VGA and  
DVI are not designed to color manage two displays. You might be able  
to switch which one is accurate, but ways to make both more accurate  
at once, short of a fully functional card, are not anything I can make  
suggestions about.
