I am looking at purchasing a new Light board for a high school, and I was trying to decide between an Element 60 500Channel and an Ion.
I know the main differences is in the physical encoders on the Ion as well as the difference in number of Channels.
Is there any other software or hardware restrictions on the element? The number of channels is totally just a software restriction that ETC imposed so I'm wondering if their are any others.
Also, I was wondering if people have any opinions of what board to get?
The highschool has 96 Traditional dimmers, several dimmer packs, no scrollers and not many special DMX devices, but may purchase some in the future, and rents them on occasion.
