In the theoretical case in which someone had the same type of problems
with ProfileMaker or other software, what conclusion would you reach?

How do you come to this conclusion. Example, I use a poorf system and
have a problem - I then conclude that with a better system, there will
probably be no problem. There is something missing here.

Far quicker and more successful... is this an argument for equality of
devices?

Nor was mine. I really don't care what the device is as long as the
results are top quality. If this had been a case of results of spectro 1
vs. spectro 2, then this differentiation would not have been made. By the
way, you mention that some other combinations give consistent results -
are they consistently good or consistently bad? :-) Just kidding...
please everyone don't get all worked up.. just a bit of humor.

Although new discoveries should be taken into consideration, it may be a
bit hasty to say that a 2.0.3 will solve a problem. Probably much more
testing is needed as yesterday, it appeared to be a problem of the i1
Display unit from your side (now apparently not so) , and from the
States?? no problem at all.
Let's see what happens.
