Your opinion of ION

I'm looking at going from an Expression 3 with an Emphasis 3D server to an ION.  Our theatre has 10 automated fixtures and 250 conventionals with a handful of scrollers.  Can anyone lend me their opinion of the ION?  Best thing since sliced bread?  EOS vs ION?  Ease of use?  On the fly programming?   When I purchased Emphasis I thought it would be the perfect tool for a mostly conventional house but with the added ability to work with the automated fixtures a little easier and neater but I rarely use it now and wonder if it's me or if ION is closer to what I'm looking for.  

Thanks for any input.

  • I agree with Brian.  You should also look into getting a submaster wing with your Ion.  If you don't you will likely miss the subs on your emphasis node.  The syntax is very similar to Obsession for conventionals and the moving light module is not difficult to use.  Instead of "Focus Points" you can make palettes more like a VL console or a Hog.  Good luck!
