But the gamble is - how quickly can they fix it and get it back to you? Does the warranty cover shipping both directions? Including the warranty price (and maybe shipping), does that bring the total price to what a better unit would cost? If the price is a significant difference, are you willing to possibly have to send it in multiple times?

I've used two different moving heads from Epsilon - the PixBeam 7-LED wash and the Mini Z-Beam 6-LED zoom spot. They were both less than $200 on PSSL and similar in size and construction. They were made in China, like everything else, but the documentation and build quality is closer to ADJ than an off-brand Amazon knock-off. From what I can tell, Epsilon tried to compete with ADJ and Chauvet a few years ago, at least on the trade show level, but no longer provide customer support these days. You can find attractive close-out sales on their stuff at PSSL.

The Z-Beam was a cool little zoom spot, but it's already been discontinued. The PixBeam is directly comparable to the ADJ Inno Color Beam Quad 7 and less than a quarter the price. The PixBeam's LED's are pixel-addressable, but they fuse into a single 10-degree beam, so there's not much SFX potential. The Inno Color Beam has ADJ's selectable fade curves, but not much else to distinguish it from the PixBeam. Bottom line: I would not pay $800 for the Inno Color Beam, and have had no issues with the $200 PixBeam. What I'd really prefer, however, is a reliable $400 alternative from a reputable company with pro-active customer support.
