I was looking for something to control a basic lighting set for our small folk band. The Bigfoot seems to be the best hardware choice.
Pro's: - It is solidly built, and seems flexible in patching DMX features to the controls.
Cons: The major fault is that there is no way to control the steps of a chase except through tap or music. it would be so much easier if one of the foot switches advanced the chase to the next scene. There is a work around outlined in an article in the "Learn Stage lighting" site, but it is clumsy. Also, the speed of a chase is not memorised, so the chase starts at the speed of the last time it was used, and hitting the tempo button does not stop the chase.
So, it is good , but with some tweaks to the system, would be great.
