Vari Lite VL 400 and 440

[joeb]

Our VL dealer has been telling us all about the new VL's since they were announced earlier this year (http://www.controlbooth.com/forums/lighting-electrics/23774-new-fixtures-vari-lite.html), and we're strongly considering purchasing a pair of the 440's. He mentioned they started shipping within the past two weeks and he would hopefully have a demo unit in a couple weeks. I'm curious if anyone has demo'd these or purchased some already and what their initial reactions are. (I'm not looking to start another thread on the validity of buying moving lights, just want to hear any thoughts on the new 400 series.)

I heard they have not started shipping yet....

Well, Crap
I did find out they are not shipping yet.
And unfortunately, the are not going to arrive before my show, so now I am on the hunt for a replacement fixture.
Anyone have any clean VL3000 fixtures for sale? I may need 6.....
