This behavior that you mention above has been seen in other parts of the
world as well. As you have the spectro as well as the colorimeter, you
have been able to compare with both which is an interesting exercise. I
will be looking forward to the following posts explaining why
theoretically a colorimeter is better for calibrating a monitor despite
the fact that the results show you that with the i1, the results improve.
If you repeat the exercise with LCDs, the results will be similar.

If you look at the unit, can you see Swiss Made printed on it?

Yes, and if you look at the last month or so, it has been commented that
these units are "interchangeable" and "give the same results" or "should
give the same results", etc., etc. I guess that in some places, they do.
