I hired a Spyder from my local Camera House (Gerry Gibbs Camera House) here in Perth. They hire it out for about $40/week which is very affordable. I also know a pro lab in town which does the same (Mirage Photographic). Others might have similar places in their own cities.
I too only trust what my CRT shows me, the laptop LCD is quite a hit and miss thing. And my observatory CRT is no good because it always gets turned up and down in brightness.
