BTW, with this possible revision of their EU marketing policies, it'll be interesting to see if they will maintain the EU-specific distinction between the "Spectraview" and "Spectraview Reference" product lines. The price difference between them has been quite substantial, and on the same level as Eizo CX vs. CG. It's been a lot harder to see what the "reference" tag actually buys you, aside from an added hood (unlike Eizo; where the built-in sensor in CG goes a long way to justify the extra price).
In any case, if this means the Spectraview Profiler software is on its way out, to be replaced with Spectraview II, that's about time. I've tried both and there's no contest.
Oh, and another thing: If they can get rid of the silly firmware lock in the regular PA models, preventing hardware calibration, that should get them solid new market shares too. This policy has rendered PA's effectively non-upgradeable, a big turn-off for a lot of people.
