Default Used Coemar ProSpot 250's - Opinions?

I was wondering what peoples' opinions are on the Coemar ProSpot 250 (not sure if it's the Evo or LX, waiting to find out)? We have about $4500 to work with and our usual rental house said he could get us 3 of these. I've never worked with these lights and was wondering how they were. I'd prefer something with CMY, but this appears to be the deal that will get us the biggest bang for the buck.

Opinions on these fixtures? Thanks!

Back in the late 1990s early 2000 I believe a design was done in the Czech Republic Robe Show Lighting , this became the Coemar/ Robe/ Futurelight/ 250 Spots and believe it or not the Chauvet Legend 250rx design. Ran into this while looking for parts. Some were built in China some in the Czech Republic, and the DMX channel listing varied.

They are not bad but not great, a lot of the wheels are plastic and have a tendancy to stick until they are warmed up etc

Pricing varies all over the lot from in the 300 dollar range on up
Someone else may have more specific information, but again this was what I was told by Lightparts

Support would be something you might want to look at

$4500 for 3 of them is a ripoff.

I have 6 of them and like them a lot but would never purchase them again. My units are a little over a year and half old and only had issues with one unit. To me most of the units in that market are all comparable, just different gobos and colors. I know a lot of guys will put up a fuss about that last comment but it's basically true till you start getting to units with CMY.
