Ken, I don't think you need to purchase all that equipment. All you need to do is color profile all your devices and "sync" them.
That means that you need a hardware (colorimeter of some sort) and a bit of software to help you (although this is not necessary, it helps a lot). Then you calibrate all your devices so that what you see on your monitor is what you will get. (and that is what you are after, if I am not mistaken). Also, you will be able to convert from "common" profiles to your profiles if needed. Then you must periodically recalibrate devices (monitor colors fade, etc) and you will have different profiles for your printer (depending on the paper (and colors) you will use). I don't think it makes sense to buy this equipment - it is more reasonable to rent it somewhere, if you have an option to do so.
