I can recommend the Martin scanners,i scored both models i use from ebay
2 MX 4's - AU $550.00
6 MX1's - AU1150.00
Even second hand these are really nice little fixtures for the money spent, same as you as the gigis get bigiger the toys get better,
I missed out on 2 x 1200W golden scans at auction by a wisker they went for AU$1500.00 while old these are pretty cool fixtures.
When the AU dollar is strong i also look over seas as savings can be considerable and most o these unit can be switched as theye are used for touring.
I opted for martin Light jocky for PC controll at US$1100 only as i had experience with it om wishing i spent a little more and gone got a HOG solution and will trade out to it as finance allows.
Can you give some feedback on the intimdators i have been seriously looking at some of these, they seem to go at pretty good pricing if you keep an eye out. I spoke to a sales guy and he said the scanners motors are good but dont provide the resolution ( smoothness) of the Martin product. Also the MX4' shave independant gobo and colour wheels which gives a lot moree flexibility.
