Key Lights for Mobile Rig

I run a mobile sound and light rig and up to now have been using a typical LED DJ PAR light for key lights
on the bands. Throw distance varies, but usually relatively short, max:

14 - 16 feet high and only about 6 feet out in front of the band so steep angle.
13 feet high and out 45 degrees out on flanks anywhere from 15 - 30 feet.
13 feet high and out about 30 - 50 at an FOH booth.

I am considering upgrading to some combination of LED Fresnel or LEKO/Profile type lights, but
maybe LED PARS with zoom and good white options would be better. Appreciate any thoughts, experience
or creative ideas anyone might have.
 
Good LEDs may be a price shock. Chauvet has some good PAR zoom units in the $1k range.
Manual zoom, meaning lens changes will be cheaper.

You might consider small mover profiles for distance work with flexibility. Chauvve Rogue series is doing well for many similar rigs.
