Hello,
I run a 400 seat venue in Garden City Idaho. We do everything from Full Theatrical runs to Rock Concerts and Burlesque shows.
We have been for the last several years using a Hog emulator and are wanting to make the switch to a dedicated console and ETC because it is what most of the theatrical lighting students are getting trained on in our area and what the majority of the other houses are using. The new Ion XE is a bit out of budget for us so we are thinking of purchasing a used Ion 6000 and a fader wing. I know this is a good system that will suit my needs but my board of directors is concerned with me buying a legacy product. Can anyone comment on how ETC is in regards to support and software upgrades for legacy units? I am looking for this to last at minimum 5 years before having to consider any sort of upgrade 10 would be better.
Thank you for your time. - Samuel
