Which is better? Or is there some other brand that would be better?

I recently bought the Eye One Display 2 and love it, but I think you'll be happy with either of your choices.

I really didn't favor the Spyder express too much so I replaced it with the Eye One display 2.

The digital printing place I use recommends the One Eye Display 2. They said numerous users have had problems with the Spyder2 not being accurate. Now I actually have the Spyder2Pro and it seems to be OK for me. Sometime I do plan on selling it and getting the One Eye Display 2. However, they don't yet support Vista x64 so I'm waiting.

I had a Spyder for two days wasn't totally happy with it after performing numerous calibrations. I Purchased a Eye One and I was blown away at the difference in comparision. The Spyder never really seemed to give me neutral greys. The Eye one made the greys neutral along with giving me more detail in the shadow areas. I did a side by side comparision and the difference was well worth "only" another $100. btw I am using an apple cinema display.

Good luck

Also, if you plan on printing your work you will want the truest color your monitor can display when PPing. Most color labs have recommended the Eye One monitor calibrator and I gotta tell ya that it's night and day with the Eye One. Spend the extra cash, you won't regret it.
