Dual IPS Monitor Calibration - Spyder 4 Pro or Elite?

I replaced my old CFL backed 23" Acer monitor for a Dual ASUS VS239H-P IPS monitors.

I did some online checking and used some of the values they stated for the controls for the monitor to get ideal image. I did on one monitor, and the images (even with both monitors on standard setting) the images are slightly different.

So needless to say I need to color calibrate. Unless there is a software calibration, I would like the best color calibration, to make my pictures look good. Currently in Lightroom one monitor is a bit yellowish, the other loupe is a bit bluer.. (the Main monitor is on HDMI, the second one the loupe is on DVI).

Any suggestions?

Edit: I just reset both monitors to the same and i cant figure out why there is a difference, however slight in the color temp

If you use dispcalGui instead of the included software even the Basic version can do multiple monitors. Just lacks the ambient lighting levels thing.
 
oh cool.. didnt know. That would save money, get the cheapest express and use that. The ambient light thing really isnt too big a deal, i usually edit at night
 
I ended up getting the Spyder 4 Pro (nearly got the elite, but more likely if i need more adjustments I can use the open source software to do the trick). Lets see when it arrives on Thursday
 
The Spyder 4 Pro works great. It calibrated both screens. I'll try the opensource software, but i am quite happy with the results from the Spyder.
