I am considering purchasing a used obsession II to rent to people and for my own theatre company, but I have some questions about it:
Is an obsession II used but in good condition worth owning? I'm looking to use it at my small theatre company that is planning on using mostly conventional tungsten fixtures, but upgrading to LEDs and movers within a few years. How is programming intelligent fixtures on this console compared to express or ion? What are the major programming differences between an obsession and an expression? What is the point of the large CPU that comes with it? Is it better to save for an element? It sounds like its not possible to convert shows between other etc consoles without paying large sums of money.
Any experiences, likes and dislikes about this board would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
