I think one of the big differences is WHAT you are doing on the console, not how. If you are designing/programing/board op it is a fine desk. If you work like most theatres, where you have a LD, a programmer, and sometimes a separate board op, its not the console for you. It thinks of things in the way a designer thinks and the way a designer wants things to move, not how a programer should think.
....to each his own....
Hey look, its a vista thread now!
I couldn't disagree more. As a designer with a programer it didn't think anything like I thought. For godssakes why are split times on it so friggin hard to do? One of the simplist things in the world...and the programmer (a vista designer/programmer) had the world of issues.
That is actually my point exactly. This thing is designed to be programed by the designer and ran by the designer. This is the reason why it is so popular by people that do one offs and corporate AV type of stuff. Its not designed to be handed off to another person to operate, or to have someone tell you when to "go". That pen is supposed to be in the hand of the person designing so they can "paint their vision".
