For those of you who get out there and use multiple types of moving lights:
My theatre has some old Intellabeams which have become too unreliable.
When they worked, they did most of what I need movers to do. But if I am going to replace, I'd like to upgrade just a little! Obviously I am looking into used HES technobeams.
But is there something else out there I should be looking at as well? Thanks!

I need something that:
1. Moves quietly (Moving head or mirror ok. Range of motion not a deal breaker)
2. Changes colors (CMY preferred over a color wheel but I can do either)
3. Allows for 8 or more gobos that I can swap myself easily each show
4. Has an iris
5. Is at least as bright as a technobeam (4000 lumens)
6. Easily purchasable (used is fine) for under $1000
7. Isn't going to break down constantly
8. One person could lift it solo if necessary
Bonus points if it also has:2. Changes colors (CMY preferred over a color wheel but I can do either)

1. rotating gobos and/or prism effects or other fun bells and whistles
2. Can get wider beam angle of 20-30 degrees (even if I need to buy a separate kit)
3. Can be focused remotely
