Glad I never planned on getting one, then. I'm sure they're great for having a standard reference -- especially across different facilities -- but I'm not sure I can see any other point in them. After all, the viewing conditions of the final print are pretty much guaranteed to be significantly different from the booth, so it's not like what you're seeing is what you'll actually get.
I suppose that's the dirty little secret of color management, isn't it? We could have a fully-managed workflow with fractional DEs at every point in the chain...only to deliver the print to the final end-user who'll be looking at it by the light of a cheap CFL on its last legs....
Cheers,
