If you are not using S3Elite in a mode that will set your white  
luminance to a targetted value, then thats issue  number one. If you  
choose the Ambient Light function, and your space is similarly bright  
to the last one, that value should be set for you (if not, cheat, and  
shade the Spyder a bit so that it will offer you the same value). Or  
you could dig into the special functions, using the special button at  
the bottom a couple of times, to burrow down to where you can select  
custom lumianance values, and leave black blank, but set white to 125.  
Results will be the same either way. If either of those methods  
corrects your results to more closely match your Spyder2 results, you  
have found and solved your problem. If not, then send me those files  
we discussed...
