I have had an opportunity to observe a shootout between Mole, Arri, Strand and Desisti. The Desisti units produced the most even pool of light of the tested units. In addition, with the only exception being their low cost Monet units, all their fixtures are assembled with screws as opposed to rivets, which makes repair alot easier. My vote is for Desisti.
