Greg,
Thank you for sharing your experience with X-Rite.
One small note, in passing…
I have a few X-Rite devices, i1pro, DTP-41 (collecting dust, right now),
i1display, 528, SP62 – sold my 530 on eBay not long ago.
I also have a SpectroEye. I bought it for $2200USD on eBay a few years ago,
maybe 6 years ago? I’D have to check but, when I sent it in for
recertification, I remember I paid around $1000, not cheap then. Now, the
instrument is in dire need for a new round of calibration, I was quoted $1390
for the same service, now that they are under a different ownership.

Xrite has been less than helpful since they bought Gretag, and even worse since
they were bought by the current owner. It's all about the bottom line, and
helping people with old devices doesn't sell new stuff, even though when I
started with DTP22 back some 15+ years ago, that did foster an opinion of the
company. They helped a lot with that old device. I then bought a Pulse and then
Profiler platinum because of their previous and continued support. Then it all
went away after they bought Gretag and now it is even more limited. This factor
is what drove me to start learning Argyll, I knew I'd never be an important
customer to Xrite again, no matter what level of product I bought from them.
Hope they read this message. And sorry for the somewhat off topic response.

The reason, Graeme, has to be “commercial”, IMO.
Otherwise, people would have no reason to upgrade to an M1 device.

I was informed by X-rite it is due to a hardware limitation with the iSis REV E
(last of the gen. 1 devices). Perhaps the power or the spectral emission of the
UV LED isn't what is required to compute M1? They wouldn't tell me specifically.

That would make sense for the Isis2, but the original ISIS only had M0/M2,
and the thing
that gave me pause is that i1profiler will only allow an M0 measurement in a
“double scan”
mode, which takes twice as long, whereas it will do M2 as a single scan.
