RE: Colorimeter vs. Spectro

Agreed. And it is also misleading to imply that a colorimeter has any intrinsic advantage, other than possibly in price/performance for color management applications. A good engineering team can undoubtedly create an excellent color management system based on a colorimeter, just as a mediocre team can create a mediocre system based on a spectrometer. The type of instrument used is part of the story, but by no means the entire story.

I can see a future where the extra spectroscopic data available from a spectrometer could actually be useful in color management. But my crystal globe is kinda hazy.
