I do believe you have a point, and having experienced the Spyder3's poor inter-instrument agreement myself I think it's certainly something the colorimeter owner needs to be aware of, but I'm not convinced it's better than no correction at all. I do think that for the wobblier colorimeters some sort of averaging would be needed. That said, The DTP-94 is still, by most accounts still an excellent colorimeter, show excellent inter-instrument agreement and is still available to buy new for a sensible price, at least in Europe and the USA. I've not found any problems with using it myself on wide gamut displays with correction, as it is used by Quato. Simple matrix calculations using the three primaries result in a white measurement of within 1deltaE of the reference measurements, showing good linearity. My DTP-94 was bought used for 35 UK pounds, is several years old, and agrees within 1deltaE of my eye-one pro on a standard gamut LCD. I have yet to investigate whether my Spyder3 will behave as well. Either way, I will find the tool very useful.
