I had a demo going with it in the Lumagen booth at CEDIA, but I have not used it in the field yet. What meter do you have, because you need something that takes readings quickly.
I am thinking of getting another meter that will read quickly. Tom Huffman recommended the Hubble, K-10, or the Display 3 PRO. He also advised me to profile against my PhotoResearch.
Honestly though, I am not sure you will benefit from this feature with CRT unless you are blending, and even than I think it may be questionable. Where this feature will really excel is on digital projectors that are cursed with a nonlinear color gamut (JVC, Epson, Sony, Sim2...).
If you have correct C-Elements, your color gamut will be very close to reference on a 9" CRT. After all, this is what digital is modeled after.

Got this review from a customer a couple of days ago:
"Just to say thanks for convincing me to buy the Radiance Mini! Calibrating my TV is now so much easier and the 125 point calibration fixed the problems I had with oversaturated Red and Green, it's subtle but my image is now more natural and my greyscale is now perfect. This device has also a lot of side features that are really nice like the gamma factor and the fact that the radiance has many memories is really great for day/night viewing settings. That really brought my TV to another level." - Stephane S.

Correct. While you can use a slower meter, it may take hours. With something like a fast Display 3 / Display 3 PRO it's a more manageable 20-30 minute process.
I plan on doing this myself in the next month or so after I get the new projector up. (Display 3 / Radiance / ChromaPure). Auto-calibrate has come at a perfect time for me and the new 125 pt version is just icing on the cake that lets me get closer than was even possible with regular calibration.
I've done enough calibrating and writing about calibrating that I really just want things to look right and not have to do it myself anymore. This is componded by the fact that the new projector will be a digital (one of the new JVC models due out Nov 2012 or so). Digitals tend to drift far more than CRT based displays which means calibrating more often. With my CRT I was happy with only doing a very quick touchup every year or two.

+1. The standards (Rec.601) are all modelled after CRT since that's what existed at the time. It's the reference.
