Well, that's too easy. Now how about a monitor calibrator. Do I have to spend the money on the Eye-One or will the SpyderPro2 do?

I currently use SP2, and it works just fine. However, I plan to move to something a little more sophisticated eventually.

I bought some from Houston camera exchange, for around $15 a piece "Synergy Digital" is the brand, an I have never had a problem. I think that they last longer than teh canon...
