To buy Studio Color for theater use ?

Hi, I'm a french light designer and i'm looking for wash yoke to use in a theater show.
We dont have enough money to buy brand new ones
So i found old Studio Color 575.
But i dont really understand the beam shape wheels, and i don't find the max angle too.
What do you think of this product, the difference with mac600 ?
Is there other high ends products which are not very noisy ?
Thanks a lot for helping me

    thanks for the answers
    I gonna try this machine. it really seems better than the mac600

    One more thing, because i'm not very familiar with yokes,
    do you know if there's a way so i can easily check if the yoke is in good condition ? and do it need a lot of knowledge to maintain it in a good condition ? Is it a safe one ?

    thanks a lot

    PS : i did not find a lot in the manual, it doesn't give you precise informations and i can't find more than :

    "Studio Color utilizes lenticular, frost, and convex lenses to refract light
    without decreasing light output. This allows for a wide variety of beam
    shaping effects beyond the possible combinations from mechanical systems.
    The system uses two independent effect wheels to accomplish this task. The
    following options are available on their respective wheels:
    Effects Wheel 1:Beam Shaping (DMX channel 10)
    • Variable wide angle lens
    • Variable narrow horizontal to wide vertical beam shaping
    Effects Wheel 2: Beam Shaping (DMX channel 11)
    • Variable frost lens
    • Variable narrow vertical to wide horizontal beam shaping"
