The Colorvision Spyder makes excellent monitor profiles. Once the monitor
is calibrated then you can profile or have profiles made for you for example
by chromix.com. You can invest in hardware/software and roll your own
profiles. The scanner profiles can be made from many of the profile maker
packages , some being offered with scanners for less than the price of the
IT8 itself. Once the monitor is profiled though you can already see the
color that the scanner is giving you so it becomes a visual choice on color
correction rather than an obligation.
The i1 from Gretag is a versatile fast portable instrument that can be used
in most of the measuring scenarios that a moderate user would need. Quite a
few options already but within the scope of the solutions you already
proposed.
