EOS Classic worth it in 2022?

[Orangefox2201]

I'm looking to upgrade to an actual desk versus ETC Nomad. I found a EOS classic for a decent price (£1100) but I was wondering if it's worth it in 2022? I wouldn't be keeping it for long though - likely 3-4 years.

If you don't require the newest of features introduced in version 3.0 then it's definitely still a perfectly good and capable lighting console. Definitely an upgrade on using Nomad on its own - seen as it has the two touchscreens and motorised faders  The Eos classic can't be updated past version 2.91 I believe. Might be worth checking that it does in fact have DMX outputs... The Eos classic I used only had 4 cat5 on the back - the workaround we used was used a PC running nomad as primary and then the EOS assigned as backup.

Just be aware of how big and heavy an Eos is. If you've got to move it around / in and out of venues etc I'd rather have a nomad, possibly with a programming wing.
