In the old days, when wide gamut displays first came to market, this spectroradiometer was the only way to deal with them. But I'd agree, a colorimeter is a better option if it's designed for the display. Better for measuring dark emissive colors.
If you've got both instruments and ArgyllCMS, you can have the best of both worlds. You use the spectrometer (i1 Pro) to build a "tuning" map for the colorimeter (i1 Display Pro), after which the colorimeter remains as fast as before and as superior for the shadows, but it "borrows" the color accuracy of the spectrometer.
See Graeme's documentation for details.
