This is an 'apples and pears'comparison. I am sure, in general, of
their competence. It is neither better nor worse, just different. For
me, every lantern is put in the rght place to achieve my design, and
usually fcussed by me, personally. A whole different way of working.

But then, when my lighting is up, it's up for the rehearsals and the
run. They have to tear the rig out and take it somewhere else the next
day.
