I am looking at purchasing some used lights and I am debating between the X.Spots and Cyberlights. Just wondering which product you would buy and what your reasoning is.
XSpot: 21 gobo positions, all rotate, all easy to change Cyber: 4 rotating gobos, remaining fixed.
XSpot: Far wider zoom range Cyber: Narrower, but a lot brighter
XSpot: More complex, but fairly simple to maintain (Modular) Cyber: Simpler, but more limited functionality, one card, so more $$$ to change.
XSpot: Smoother color mixing, CTO, CTB Cyber: Colors are much less uniform
I think it all depends what you want to do. For theatre, I find my XSpots far more versatile than my Cybers, but both have their place. For large, dramatic, bright beam effects from upstage, the Cyber is the ticket . . .
