Reddit reviews DMX Digital LED 96 Channel SPI Decoder - 5-24VDC

This. Investing in your future productions is awesome. Giving your designers more tools is awesome. But moving lights can continue to suck of time and resources for repairs and maintenance, especially if you're looking at a used one. I trust you're weighing this in your calculations, but let me though a (small) vote in the pile of "it's probably not worth it."

For $5000, I'd get:

• 2 Rosco I-Cues (w/ Broadway Bracket)
  
• 6 7.5" Wybron Forerunners
  
• 2 Apollo EZ Irises
  
• 1 24V Power Supply
  
• A bundle of 4-pin cable.
  
  A 19-degree S4 with I-Cue, iris, and scroller isn't quite a moving light, but it's a useful stand-in for a lot of individual conventional specials. Four extra scrollers is (hopefully) enough for one idea/system depending on your space; again, replacing a couple systems with one system of lights, allowing you to spread your conventionals out somewhere else.
  
  Another thought: LED tape is popular these days. How about a 96-channel LED Driver and a DMX to SPI conveter to drive it, and a power supply? About $200 for all three together, and RGB tape can be had for about a dollar a foot these days.
