Andrew,
Actually, I dropped my Optix XR on the floor some time ago - fortunately carpeted - so I don't think I messed it up, but with the lingering thought in the back of my mind that I may need to replace it, spurred by this thread, I checked with Integrated Color this morning and they tell me that X-Rite is continuing to manufacture the unit as an OEM supply product and Integrated Color sells it either with or without CED software. But then again, with XRite itself saying on their website that they recommend substituting it with an iI Display 2, that simply re-opens the question about which is technically preferable. Have you had a chance to compare their relative performance? It's always possible that they've found a cheaper way to manufacture another unit that also happens to be better in certain conditions, but one wonders....
