You can get spider 3 software for true spyder2 from Datacolor, and it will work with Lion. The sensor supposedly doesn't' work right with LED backlit displays, but it did a good job on my IMac 27 until I installed Lion. A Spyder 4, which works very well with both Lion and the backlit LED monitor, sells for less than a hundred bucks in the Express version.
I gave my Spyder 2 to the first list member who asked for it for the cost of postage, but I suspect they're probably worth $25.
