Let's talk colorimeters

What are the best performing, reasonably priced colorimeters on the market.

So far I'm looking at the following models.

More pricey:

Pantone Eye one Display2.

Spyder 3 Elite

Less pricey:

Pantone Huey Pro

Spyder3 Express

Xrite Eyeone display LT

Ok now I don't do color critical work on a professional basis. However I'd like my monitors to be more color accurate. I also use photoshop now and then. But mainly I use my monitors for gaming, internet, and video watching. What tool is the right one for the job? Thoughts?

Well, I haven't been too disappointed by my Huey Pro (my only calibrator), but it would be nice if it had some sort of way to actually show calibration results. I guess they expect everyone to assume it's doing a good job

I've been using the Spyder 3 PRO with great results on my LCD monitors.

Get the X-Rite Eye One Display 2 and a better s/w package like Color Eyes Display Pro, that can do DDC/Ci

The i1 D2 is a great puck, much better consistency on average than the Spyder2/3 but the i1 Match s/w is terrible.

Thanks for the advice. I think I'll go for the Eye One Display 2 if I can get it for cheap.
