Madness,
I got one of those you're talking about, I have not tested it in the field yet, but it does not have a long throw the longest with good visibility or distinction of the gobo is about 20-23' and that's about pushing it. This particular gobo projector is designed for short throw but it's awesome for some applications.
I'm getting a second one this week and possibly a third one. Yet the best thing is that you can make your own gobos with transparency paper and the housing is all metal.

Yep thats the one. I thought being able to use transparency paper would be great to create your own
goboman doesnt deliver the quality you get when you get a steel or glass gobo ordered through NLFX im going to tell you that although im not posting what i paid it was definitely better than the best price on the internet and the other company saying they get the best prices from the place in texas.
The benefit to an actual gobo are there are nice creative things your brides can do with the gobo afterwards putting it in their wedding album all dressed up. I dont know that you'd get the same lasting effect from transperency. also we give the gobos to the clients (obviously as referenced above) and gobo technology has been around for ages so hypothetically speaking at a 10, 20, 25 year anniversary party they could use the exact same gobo.. and i know the transperency wont last that long...
Sure being able to do the monogram at 10am for a 5pm wedding is a novel idea but with just a few days notice you can have the actual thing in fact for a slight charge you can have it overnighted.

I am not sure what Ben charges for lithos (glass gobos) but if it is as good as my price (which I suspect it is) then it is well worth the money for the quality that a Rosco Litho gives you.
Sure there are cheaper options out there, but if you compromise in the quality of the projecting unit, then in the quality of the litho (or gobo), and add to that the problems already inherent in projection of a pattern through a light, you get something that looks cheap in addition to being cheap.
Just my opinion as a lighting designer.
