Quite a bit more than 4-5K for that--and actually I only own about half that gear, the rest is rented on a per job basis. At least here in LA, lighting gear can be rented so cheaply that it's not...

I will agree that for a rig that can spec up to that weight, not accommodating dual batteries is a bit strange, seeing as it was standard on the Flyer. Yes, you can add dead weight, but batteries are...

If I can, I'll try to get to the factory to spend some time with the prototypes of both rigs and post my impressions here. My schedule slows down next week so I'll put it in the hopper!
