You guys all have good reasons on why to use Stand consoles. I see your point where when you add more fixtures you just add on a
wing. Which could be a handy feature, if your lighting rig is always expanding.
You got to keep in mind I work with consoles like the Grand MA, Maxxyz, Case, Hog II, and soon some Avolite consoles. Also, usually when I use static fixtures, I'm only using the bump buttons cause it's concerts or industirals.
But I will look more into the Stand line of consoles for installs and stuff. Thanks again for your input.
