Both display almost the entire Adobe RGB color space which is much better than most other monitors can. For Will's full review check out his thoughts here: http://www.shootsmarter.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=165&acat=16 I’d really suggest two monitors which are also recommended by Will Crockett who has done extensive real world testing:

I have several other articles you may find useful for addressing the selection of a new monitor and the practical issues involved with calibrating a monitor. You can find a discussion on sifting through the specifications involved with monitor selection on my book's Web site: http://perfectdigitalphotography.com/monitors.php You can find an article on selecting and calibrating your monitor (part of a 4-part series on color management) on the Photo.net Web site. http://photo.net/learn/digital-photography-workflow/color-management/monitor-profiling/ If you begin calibrating your monitor to 100-120 cm2 (brightness) a gamma of 2.2 and a white point of 6500K you'll have a good starting point. There are some workflows needing to deviate from this standard, but this will serve you well as a starting point. Jay Thanks for your comments.

I do both of these myself but it's always enlightening to hear how others do it.
