Color matching for monitors and prints

I need to buy new color matching hardware. My Huey doesn't seem to want to color match my new Dell 3007 LCD. Comes out pink. It works with my Dell 20" LCD. Plus it can't do both my monitors. (The pro can, but it's the same hardware, and after reading about a bunch of people having pink adjustments, I decided to try something else.)

Anyway, I ws about to buy the Eye One, and I ran across this new device that also can match prints.

I think (perhaps incorrectly) that it would be a good way to really make sure what I am uploading on DPCPrints (for example) will yield the colors I'm expecting. Right now, the only way to be sure is to order a print of anything you upload. It would be nice develop a color profile for DPCPrints (would need to print a test target with them), and to be able to proof using a local color profile for my printer.

Does that make sense? Or do you think monitor profiling is sufficient?

Does anyone have the ColorMunki yet? What do you think?

While I'm at it, what's your opinion of the Eye One?
