In this price range the only other alternative is the X-Rite ColorMunki. 

On the printer profile side of things the ColorMuki can not compete with DataVision's PrintFixPro. PrintFixPro produces much better printer profiles.

Checkout Keith's review of the colormunki:

Basically the ColorMunki is hobbled for printer profiling as X-Rite does not want it to compete with it's big brother, the Eye-One that sells for over $1200.00 PrintFixPro can produce profiles just as good as the Eye-One.
