Which moonflower light?
I've been looking at buying a pair of DMX moonflower lights - I've got fed up with all of these little dots on the dance floor so I hired a pair of Acme Puma's (250w Halogen) at the weekend and I've been pretty impressed with the effects that they produce. Unfortunately you can't buy them any more so I'm looking at either a pair of NJD Datamoons, a pair of Acme Falcons, a pair of iShow 4's, or if anyone else has any recommendations, possibly something else? Failing that I could probably get a second hand set of the Puma's.
My budget is about £200-£300, though as usual, the less spent the better!
My criteria are:
1. Brightness (I think I've ruled out 100w fixtures)
2. DMX controllable (though decent built in sound to light programs are essential)
3. Seperate Colour/Gobo wheels
4. Flight cases must be easily available

Seperate Colour/Gobo Wheels?
Well, the magic gobos meet your criteria bar the above. Although they're 100w they're very bright. Check out the gallery on my site, you can see them in action there.

I had a pair of Magic Gobos a few years ago and they are great little effects and very bright.
If you had the budget, then Twister 4HPs are good or even Datamoons.

Seperate Gobos / Colours?
- Acme Puma - Nope
- Acme Falcon - Nope
as you've already mentioned the Ishow4-HID has this, and if you can still get them Abstract XP5.
Interesting that you've moved away from coloured dots (LED I presume). I have done the same. I am just going to use LED for colour wash and UV going forward.

Yeah I thought he was a bit harsh myself, I thought they were plenty bright, but you really can see the difference between them and the 250w Puma's - mainly in that the Puma's cover a much wider area and are that little bit brighter. For the £40 or so each I'd prefer to spend a little bit extra and get the brighter/larger fixture at this point.
I'd better do a bit more research on the features
I haven't come across the Twisters yet - I'll do some more digging...

Twister 4s are great lights. However ive had them side by side and (not just my opinion here but that of a friend who dies big installs) if you can stretch to them then great. If yyou cant, dont worry because the Pumas are right up their backside
