I believe that was Jon's point. The fact that the customers that buy chivos are not doing large lightshows. I have a pair of PT 30Ks.. I paid $250 for the whole set. I do lightshows on my living room wall. If I were doing a gig for $2000 or more, there is no way I would trust my show to a $250 pair of glavos. Hell, I would even choose G-120s, which have a history or torsion bar troubles, to a paid gig before I trusted chivos. Sure, the quality of chivos might be getting better, although I see no signs of that, but that makes them better junk glavos. This has been discussed at length by Bill, Adam, even the Admin of the forum got in on the topic of why chivos don't compare and probably never will at the price they sell for against the higher-end galvos. Thing is, companies are not losing money to the cheap galvos. If the chivos weren't around, I doubt the people who would normally buy chivos would break the bank to buy higher-end stuff. There is not that much competition on that front.
If you're the smartest person in the room, then you're in the wrong room.
