re: PRG's "Best Boy"
Here's a link to PRG's website about this. Judging by what I can tell from the image, I bet it'll be something like a Bad Boy that's supposed to be versatile (like the swiss army knife in the picture.) Judging by the mysterious writing of "October 28 | LDI 2011", I'll bet it'll be first shown to the public on the first conference day of LDI.

I was wondering how much they weighed, we had 11 bad boys on the last gig I was on. not the funnest thing to bring down on a scissor lift.

I was told it was supposed to be either a wash version that was supposed to be the brother of the Bad Boy- with a real color mixer. Or it was supposed to be the baby brother with around a 700W lamp. But since this is all speculation, I can't be sure of what to make of any information. I just hope it's not another heavy ****er. I helped load a truss with 20 of those and a ton of Chauvet Colorardo 2's- which are like 38 pounds each. (I honestly wouldn't be surprised if my "ton" description was accurate to the weight)

so I attended a private showcase for the best boy, it's 109lbs about 50 less than the bad boy, it's light is amazing. The person who was describing its features had a list of things that it does but I'm not familiar with the techy stuff he was speaking of. I caught that it draws less power than the bad boy but somehow its light is brighter, physically its a lot smaller than the bad boy but has the same body style. the showcase had other fixtures there for comparison, vl3500s, claypaky alpha, martin 2ks and others, you can really tell the difference in quality when they had the spotlights next to each other on a screen. check it out at ldi if you go, you'll be amazed.
*Facepalm*
I think ProgrammerInTraining meant to say that it has (and correct me if I'm wrong
): CMY color mixing, indexable gobos, gobo morphing and a few other fun things.
