Hi Martin
I think you'll find that most resellers on this list also, like me, spend a lot of time building profiles on-site for customers and for a very wide range printers and RIPs. Also our exposure to a wider set of workflows make us ideally placed to provide feedback to X-Rite, which we all do on a regular basis.
My own experience with colour management goes way back to Linocolor.

The software and hardware that I've purchased from X-Rite should not just be easy to use in a simple workflow, it should reward deeper investigation by the end user too. I shouldn't need to be scouring the web or signing up for seminars from a bunch of middlemen to find out the real meaning of the arbitrary integers on a slider.
