I started with a obey 40 - hard to program/understand/comprehend. Not all my fixtures would work with it. limited programs compared to a computer with is unlimited. cost more than sushi-ds. Lose-lose-lose.
?? I DJ with a laptop..if something happens, well, i'm screwed LOL. Actually I bring 2- both have my music, software and lighting programming on them. One is for music, the other lighting and backup for music (and vice versa).
Just easier to run 2 - one dedicated to lighting means I can change lighting programs with one key (keyboard shortcuts) at any time. I've run the lighting off the music laptop - very low drag on the system.
AND if you want you can download your program to the sushi-ds.

I prefer hardware to software.
If something happens to my laptop, I'm screwed.
But I have considered wireless, for obvious reasons.
