True, if money were less of a concern I would buy either Leprecon or ETC, who also make little 4 dimmer packs. I equipped my studio with Leprecon packs because I believe them to be much higher quality than the Leviton or Chauvet packs. Or the Elation, or the ones “of unknown Chinese manufacture” that a theatre here has in their stock. But I still think that the Leviton version is pretty reliable.
