These two systems are quite capable: you can't go wrong with either, IMO.
The DDC system is incredible: it automates the whole process. I've seen it
do nice things on some Mitsubishi SpectraViews and hear wonders about it in
the SONY Artisan. But every once in a while somebody will come along with
nightmare stories here on the list. So, while it sounds great and I am sure
many people are very satisfied with it, for my money, I'd rather retain
control of the calibration process as I feel I know what I am doing.
