Ernst,

There is a difference between a colorimeter, and a spectrocolorimeter.  It is how they separate the colors of light to be measured.  The first uses changing filters (some colored LEDs), and the latter a prism with sensors placed at the band of the spectrum they are to measure.

A big difference in their designs, and also their accuracy.  The spectrocolorimeter is more accurate.  And also much more expensive.
