So you never look at the MSRP? It seems to me to be at least cognizant of the MSRP. It gives one an expected price range so you aren't overly surprised when you go look at a vendor to see what it sells for. Sure the reseller probably discounts a product a bit. If I know that two products, which do essentially the same job, from two different manufacturers have an MSRP that is, say $50 apart, I'm more likely to look on the lower MSRP product as my first choice, barring a huge difference in the reseller price of the higher MSRP product. Now, if one of the products has a reputation for doing a MUCH better job than the other one, I'm more likely to go with the one that has the best reputation, if it only costs a *little* more.
That being said, I'm seriously considering the ColorMunki as it is made by Pantone and we use Pantone colors here in making carpet. The price is very similar to the Spyder product, but it has the advantage of being made by Pantone, so has an edge there for me.

You have yet to see me "irritated to the extreme" or "aggravated". You also have a flawed procurement policy. Read the other posts that were made. Your only legitimate comment regarding pricing is when the /reseller/ doesn't post pricing. That's just silly. Even if/when a manufacturer posts prices - for instance, Microsoft - what's the point?
