But if you really mean VL2000, and you have to specify Spot or Wash, but we'll assume Spot: A big NO! Not a bad light, but just an updated version of the VL6c, and no color mixing. And if a moving light can't blend with the conventional lights (SourceFours) it's not going to be very useful in a theatre design.

As Pie said, the
VL1000TSD is a nice light (though i've only used the arc version: VL1000AS) and it and the ETC Revolution are the only two in their class. Arguing about which is better would be like arguing Kliegl vs. Century in the day. But I would go with the V*L over the Revolution, due to the color mixing. Both are huge, clunky, and slow, but so am I and that's okay for theatrical usage.
