First of all, amazing deal on some brand new AR500 Exteriors. I presume these were liquidated from DisneyWorld storage as they were super common for castle illumination along with Martin Exterior 300 and 600s and are just now being replaced with colorsource pars.

Real question and conversation for here, who misses Irideon AR50s. Essentially a small, single yoke arm VL500.
I never got to use any personally besides demo units in showrooms, but I loved the idea of their size for corporate stuff, to stand on stage and that they were so uniquely shaped.
I feel like now, if I want a moving light that's less than 50lbs, its not going to be professional and almost impossible to get CMY.
Since I feel like we're all theatre designers here, I feel like something like the AR50 would have tons of usability in todays environment, but manufacturers are so focused on Viper sized fixtures, the dim end of the line defaults to DJs.
Thoughts?
(edit to add image, couldn't figure out how to make it reasonable size, removed image.)
