The bundle price is good (even lower than US price, which is rare!!!)
I would recommend to sell the spyder pro 4 and get a colormunki photo (which capable for both monitor and printer profiling, and it's officially supported by Canon Color Management Tool Pro) if you are looking to profile your printer/paper.
Where can we buy such speciality ink? i think challenger and sls quite hard to get ? another query is about the photo paper? A4 size maybe able to get from consumer retail. but for A3 size, where to get? Any place with a variety of A4 and A3 photo paper for such pro printer?
I have now spyder 3 and intend to change my 2 DELL U2311H for 1 U2413/U2713.
Colormunki Photo is closing at USD400.. that's ex though true that the price justify for screen + printer calibration.
Saw adorama selling canon pro 100 at USD89 but mail in rebate on applies to US resident and limited to 1 per household. Sad, singapore do not have such deals.
Now hesitating for Pro 100, if I should buy it as I fancy Epson printer earlier but have not act on it
And for cheaper printing cost, you may look for higher end model with larger ink tank. The printing cost is usually higher than the printer cost in long run.

I bought the PRO 100 back in May, and like you I had difficulties getting A3 or A3+ paper and I did not want to order from US which reallly is cheaper. I contacted Canon and they acknowledged that most retailers do not stock them. They send a stock of A3 & A3+ paper to South Asian Computer at Funan, and I picked up the Luster and Pro Platinum paper there.
BTW, the printout is great!
canon nozzles got reputation for not clogging.
Some guy called Michael at CP tells me that all nozzles will clog .
Just got to use it often enough.
Or waste some ink now and then .
Is James Tan some guru ?

Yes. James Tan is professional and guru in this industry.
For a humid environment like Singapore, the nozzles usually don't easily get clog unless you put it there for years, but then you really need to think about if you need a pro/prosumer printer.
I always find the real user feedback is more reliable than sale person.
