I have a Huey, which is great bang for the buck. I just purchased a
ColorMunki and it's much better.
So you're probably best off with an i1 Display LT on your budget.
I wouldn't recommend any products from DataColor (Spyder) as you need
to rip firmware for most of them.

Coincidentally I have a C6280 which I do use for photo printing, I
love Staples' Satin Supreme paper.
I use UFRaw for processing raws though.
