In the end I got a pair of Eizo SX2461W's. It took me a little to get used to the LCD look, but now I love them and I am getting better matching to my prints.
These guys are very even edge-to-edge, and although there's a little brightness shift from dead-head-on to somewhat sideways when looking critically, it is very easy to adapt to it. The adjustments from the desktop without having to go through the hard buttons, and saving / restoring different setting preferences is icing on the cake. I'm a very happy camper.
