"Hooligans" suggested otherwise, and I didn't expect someone would be flip about that right in that context...

Hey, some other options here depending on your budget - the Zylight ProPalette and the Robert Juliat DALIS 863 Access.
The ProPallet works extremely well, and at 350w puts out more light than just about any other cyc fixtures on the market. You can space them at almost 6' on center, which means fewer fixtures per cyc, and the control is extremely simple - 4 channels, or you can even set it to be HSI control for even simpler operation. Should be ~$2300 per fixture from a dealer. https://www.zylight.com/propalette/
The RJ Dalis is redesigned from the original with a 4-color system, including a tungsten-ish white, and still available in 1 or .5 meter fixtures. It pulls 150w, but with the custom optics it punches out a decent amount of light with great saturated colors. It's super slim and connects very easily, so swapping out conventional cycs is easy. It's a linear batten style fixture, so you basically need the line your cyc, but you can put about 12" between them to ease the quantity needed without sacrificing too much in overlap. https://www.robertjuliat.com/ambiance_lighting/dalis863.html#.XIkXgBNKhTY
If you do demo a unit, make sure you get more than 1! 3 is ideal to be able to see how the fields work together to wash your cyc. 1 unit will not give you a true impression of how much light hits your cyc.
Cheers, and good luck!

If you're looking to get replacement striplight fixtures for your cyc we've had great success with Colorforce 72s.
The lenses are stupidly expensive for what they are but they have pretty good color mixing.
