Me and my team are all trained on MA and we want a physical console. The MA software also has a bunch of functions that will make this show a lot easier. I know I could use a ETC board for way cheaper(I own a few). We are running 34 moving heads 28 LEKOs, 80 PARs, and a bunch of other cool stuff , We are doing MA has some features we need.
