That's pretty vague. What sort of profiles ? What information do they contain ?

Without more concrete information as to what they are providing, it's impossible
to say.

Anything with a non-constant light output is more subject to variations
due to the fact that the i1d3 isn't capable of detecting or synchronising
to the refresh period. The DTP94 is capable of this.
It's easy enough to examine this - take the same reading over and
over, and see how much it varies.

speed.

more
that a standard i1d3 + display .edr/.ccss file is probably not buying much.
