Should I buy XSpots?

I am looking for intelligent fixtures to use in a room with a lot of ambient lighting and a 40'-50' trim height. I don't have the funds to purchase brand new fixtures. Would you recommend XSpots? If not, any other fixture you recommend? My concern is their age. Is that generally a problem with these fixtures? The specs look great, I just don't want to buy lights that break down on me in a few months because they are older. Anyone have experience with these lights that they can share with me? Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks. Ethan

    [quote=EthanB]And the kicker is that this is a very steep incline along the roofline, which my truss has to follow. Unfortunately the incline takes the truss face away from the stage rather than towards it. So I'm concerned about being able to hit everything I want with the Cyber's mirror vs. the XSpots moving head.

    For this reason alone I would choose Cybers...any moving head fixture will have pan/tilt issues over the long run if installed at a steep incline. Whereas a moving mirror fixture will not....just make sure you orient the mirror correctly and then you can tip the unit towards the stage a bit to help as well.

    Hope this helps:)
