I hadn't considered the EyeOne because it's $250 (vs $150 for the Spyder 
with photocal).

Unless you think I really couldn't get reasonable prints with the monitor 
calibration using the Spyder (or if it were going to take me many 
additional test prints and therefore paper and ink), I'll probably stick 
with the cheaper one.

Thanks,
Aaron
