I have one of these and I have found that it works better than most other 
targets for profiling cameras.  It is also hand measured using and i1 IO and 
I think that this helps improve the results compared to batch average 
targets.  Considering that the targets are hand measured it's cost is very 
reasonable.

By the way this target is supported in LProf CVS.
