I've decided I need to get a hardware monitor calibration tool and I'm looking at these two. One is $89, one is $189. For home use with the Digital Rebel XT, a Canon ip660D printer and Digital Photo Professional software, is there any reason for me to get the upgraded version?

I don't need to scrimp, I can afford the higher cost version, but I hate spending money on unecessarily, and I'm not that sophisticated. Any real-world difference reason to go with the Spyder2 over the ColorPlus?

Thanks.

John

I'm interested too. I've noticed the more expensive packages allow you to install/use on multiple computers, which may be a deciding factor for me. I'd like to calibrate two comptuers.


Equipment: Canon Rebel XT, Tamron 28-75 2.8, 18-55 Kit Lens, 50mm 1.8, Sigma 18-200 OS

I have a PC and a laptop. I use ColorVision to calibrate both. It works quite well.
