If you think those are expensive, don't price the expodisc!
I'm not dissing either product. I know that the folks that make expodisc go to great lengths to ensure that it is accurate, and remains accurate (no yellowing or other shifts over time). Still, I would not pay that kind of money for it. I find that if I get the white balance good enough to display something close to accurate on the LCD, then I can shoot confidently. I will then make adjustments to one shot in Lr and copy the WB adjustment to the others shot in the same conditions. It's a minute's worth of work, and what matters isn't that the results are technically dead-nuts accurate, but that the result is pleasing. For instance, I will often leave photos shot under tungsten lighting slightly warm, since this most accurately represents what we expect to see under these conditions, and often is more pleasing than a completely corrected WB.
Edit for typo
