Color Calibration question

My simple question is: what are the difference between those 2 softwares or devices?

Can i use the first only to calibrate my monitor? and can i use it to calibrate many monitors [CRT's, LCD's,..]?

and will the first one enough to match the colors with printing? or what i should get as color calibration? i know there are many color calibrations bundles but i am leaning with this spyder2 more, any recommendations?

The first one is for monitor calibration only. It will do LCD, CRt, and even Projectors.
The second has hardware and software to calibrate your printer and monitor.

The first will get you close to what your printer will produce but not nearly as close as the second will. I personally have the Spyder2Pro but will soon purchase it's printer profiling counterpart when the cash is right.

Thank you very much.
I think then the second one is perfect set.
the first one will be good enough for monitors, but then i need profiling for printers for more accurate, so let's say i may choose the first one, what good profiling i can get for printers [assuming i will get Epson R-series: 1800, 2400, 3800,...etc]?

I use the first, and yes, for lcd, crt, projectors e.t.c
The printing company I use uses adobe rgb, so I just set up my files with that profile for them.... I don't sell what I print myself, don't like to have the garauntee of my prints on my head you know...

OK, and still all my prints so far are fine, so i think i don't need that second device, i -myself- don't sell my prints, but i show few in some galleries or exhibitions held in my country as a member of photography[or art media] club and i want to have my prints as nice as possible [minimum size for these galleries and exhibitions is A3 or 30"x40"].

Sounds like fun...
