Tek is hands down better than Ultrascope FOR color correction. As John already mentioned, you can't customize to get the displays you really want with the Ultrascope. Instead you are forced to look at audio meters and picture on the scope which is unnecessary and distracting.
On the other hand, Blackmagic could put in just a little more work and make the Ultrascope a serious scope for CC.
In the end it depends upon what you use your scope for. I have many Tek scopes and a few Ultrascopes, and each works well in certain areas.
