Need help deciding between an Avolites T3 and MA3 on PC command wing
Hi everyone!
English isn't my first language, so I hope this text conveys my dilemma well enough.
In the near future I want to get my own console for programming at home and taking on tour with some smaller bands (that could grow into selling out larger venues) and I can't decide between Avolites and MA3. On one hand, I already have somewhat of a starter showfile I programmed myself on MA3 and I know this is the most well known console and makes arriving at a new venue and just having to update some palettes a breeze. It can also do some amazing things for sure and I know that if I want to be able to do festivals getting this console would be the wiser choice.
On the other hand, I seem to be more comfortable with Avolites as it is quite intuitive to me and MA3 really overwhelms me with all the options and different ways to do everything. I also have a little more experience with Avo. After using both for a while I have also found I am more of a designer than a programmer, and the Avolites is a way better console for my programming style. But I also don't want to limit my future self just because I am more comfortable on Avolites at the moment.
I'd love it if people had some tips, insights or experiences to share that could help me make this decision, as I keep weighing the pro's and cons and can't seem to get anywhere as both appeal to me for different reasons. Thanks in advance :)
