I'm looking at one of these models on Ebay. If anyone has one, can you give me your opinion, please?

I used one of these for a church show last week. Superb! If you need extra brightness and even extra definition (Xenon lamps bring out a certain "something" from you films because they provide a pin-point light source, unlike halogen which is a bigger light source) then this is the machine for you. Very heavy but an outstanding performance! Just make sure it strikes easily.
