Dj lighting - Scanner comparasion Martin SCX vs. Eliminator

I just wanted to say that "you get what you pay for" . Again!

So I own a pair of Eliminator E139 barrel roller DMX controlled lights. I also just got a pair of Martin SCX500 scanners. The Eliminators are 250Watt bulbs and Martin are 150watt. The Martins look 3 times brighter than the eliminator. The optical path on the Martin is simple and efficient. The eliminator is not designed as well.
The Martin uses a front side coated mirror as the eliminator uses regular rear coated mirror.  The Martin uses a bulb that has the reflector integrated as one piece. Where the Eliminator has a separate reflector and bulb that has to be aligned right or the light will not be focused properly. The Martin does nice smooth sweeping motion as slow speeds where the eliminator is gittery.

So when buying equipment always remember that you get what you pay for! In all fairness Martin has be developing high end stage lighting since they began and has always chased the industry leaders in concert lighting (High End & Vari light) but has always dominated the lower end DJ and night club market. In this case their experience in getting maximum light out of a fixture is apparent!!  I'd like some 250 watt discharge models someday!
