I don't have an iMac or that particular calibration product but I do
have an X-Write calibration product for PCs called EZcolor Suite. It's
very easy to use. You have a calibration "puck" which hangs down over
the screen and reads the color patches the software creates. It's just
a matter of installing the software, starting it up, plugging the puck
into a USB port and following directions.
But a warning: When I bought this product I was still using a CRT. I
tried to use it on my big 23" flatscreen but I don't think the product
is capable of doing much in the way of adjustment on the flatscreen. I
must confess that I don't know if that's a characteristic of the
flatscreen technology vs CRT (there aren't any color guns to be
adjusted) or if it's a limitation of older software (circa 2006) working
on new hardware. Anyhow, my screen changed very little but I didn't
really think it needed adjustment in the first place. Check the
documentation specificially for commentary relative to function provided
on flatscreen devices.
As to comparing three iMacs I can only repeat the old saying: Confucius
says a man with two clocks never knows what time it is. :-)
