I'm torn

I need an inexpensive HD monitering solution but don't mind spending a little bit of money.
I already have a blackmagic decklink HD extreme card.
And need to choose from the following 3.

Aja hdp
Matrox mxo
Hdlink Pro

Now i know the hd link would work flawlessly with the card from sdi to dvi. BUT are the colours that accurate. I also know the MXO has spot on colours but this negates my exisiting setup. Also can I run a DVI splitter from either of the three to the cinema display and a client plasma display with no problems switching between the two on all of the above three.

Anyone have any real world experiance with these three.
Thanks for the replys guys.:Drogar-KnockedOut(D

Dont have any spare slots Noah. I forgot to mention have a sony PVM 14m4e monitor as well, I think i might go per this article here http://www.dv.com/features/features_item.php?articleId=196602702 and use the sony for critical colour work and use an HD link with the cinema display for detail work.
But can I run two displays off the one Hdlink in theory it should work with a dvi hdmi splitter. And im guessing i'd have to fiddle with software options but if anyone knows for sure would be great.
 
Well, since the MXO won't work for you, and you already have an HD card, just go for the LH-BT1700W from Panasonic. 17" LCD monitor good for color correction...$4000. Or, the 2600W for $6000.
