This seems to abe the question of the month... which gnerally implies that
there is not a clear best answer...
The options would include weaker luminance control and the simpler Chroma4
sensor in the BlueEye system (plus the higher cost), or lack of gun control
with a Spyder, or buying a noticably more expensive DTP92 (or using the
Chroma4 again) with ICC Display, since it will allow gun control via DDC
(direct digital control)... but doesn't have drivers for the Spyder, or wait
for ColorVision to include DDC with PhotCal so you can use the Spyder and
still get gun control... has this started getting confusing yet? Oh, and
there must abe a ProveIt option in there somewhere, but since I can never
manage to figure out what features ProveIt offers, I won't even go there...
