My initial assumption had always been that the differing method, and finer
data subdivision, of a spectro to have the potential to offer better monitor
calibration. But I have been unable to substantiate this in practical terms,
thus leading to my cynicism about how the effectively such data can be used
by our current methods...

Certainly on a theoretical level we are in agreement here... on a practical
level, what suprises me is not how the $600 packages stand up, but that the
$200 alternative continues to match or better them.
